Oxfam: Innovating to deliver humanitarian relief
In our most recent CIO Sessions video, I interviewed Simon Jennings, CIO of Oxfam GB. As a non-profit dealing with issues of poverty and suffering around the world, Oxfam has come up with innovative ways to deliver application services and mobile solutions to remote, and often insecure, locations. Jennings also talks about Oxfam GB's retail store business, the fifth largest in the UK, and its online catalog, which sells everything from mosquito nets and a specially designed water bucket to toilets and trees for donation to people around the world in need.
