DISC exists to help Dioceses

Members aren’t just Techies

DISC saves dioceses money

  
For over 30 years DISC has proudly assisted the church in maximizing investment in information systems. Our membership roster includes people from Computer Services/MIS, Financial Services, Communications, the Chancery and more. We even have a Bishop or two!

Our board of directors has negotiated discounts that can save your diocese thousands of dollars on hardware and software. Our partners, Insight and Paragon Micro, are also ready to help your diocese locate the lowest prices available on your technology purchases by helping your diocese find and take advantage of many non-profit pricing programs.

 
       

The Conference saves dioceses money

DISC gives back – in many ways!

Everyone is welcome!

  
Attendees often tell us how much money they have saved by participating in conference sessions and consulting with other conference attendees. Often a casual conversation with another attendee will reveal a dis-count program or a money-saving alternative. Through our Bishop Pates Mission Grant, DISC has helped several small organizations further their mission. DISC also returns the cost of the conference to one lucky diocese by way of the Fr. Doug Tobin Award to their vocations office. We also help dioceses in need with conference attendance. Even someone with no technology skills can benefit from DISC membership and conference attendance. People of all skill levels attend and come away from the conference and our user forum with ideas that will help save money and more importantly further the message of God.

The ONLY USCCB Officially Sponsored Catholic Technology Organization in the USA

We are the CIOs, Technology Directors, Influencers, and Technology Decision Makers for all of the (Arch) Diocese across the United States.  On an annual basis, members of DISC gather to share knowledge gained, challenges faced over the past year, wins accomplished, and forge long term relationships which benefit our members and the supporting Diocese.  Throughout the year, we frequently communicate with each other via forums, email, and webinars.  Based on the most pertinent topics and challenges of the year, the DISC Board with the help of many volunteers, assemble a 3 day conference (usually including a fun pre-con event) which showcases prominent experts in the technology field as well as provide hands on demonstrations of cutting-edge technologies that are designed for our Catholic sector.  Vendors that realize the power of DISC and appreciate the benefit of being in the same room with the key decision makers of all Diocese across the Country, take advantage of the annual DISC Conference to showcase their technologies and solutions to our daily challenges.
We are a volunteer organization of fellow Diocesan technology directors, and we keep the membership fee as low as possible.  We are one family of Catholic technology experts.  To properly serve your Diocese, you should join today if not already a member.
