Business Automation & IOT

In the dynamic landscape of business operations, harnessing the power of automation tools can be a game-changer. When strategically integrated into your modern digital workplace, these tools not only simplify tasks but also elevate overall efficiency. By automating routine functions, your team gains the freedom to delve into strategic initiatives, foster customer satisfaction, and enhance both profitability and productivity.

Collaborate on Documents Using SharePoint

SharePoint, a robust document management solution, facilitates seamless collaboration using Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. With live files stored in the cloud, everyone in your organisation can work simultaneously on the same document, with changes tracked and attributed to their author. This is especially valuable for documents requiring numerous drafts and sign-offs.

No more nightmares of multiple document versions circulating among teammates or wasting time on outdated copies. SharePoint prevents anonymous edits and provides visibility into changes. Forget about the frustration of late-night strategy decks being altered without your knowledge. You'll now know when Wanda decides to make a change. Plus, identifying the resident stickler for language nuances becomes a breeze!

SharePoint, when combined with our Microsoft 365 Backup solution, ensures document security and streamlines stakeholder feedback. It minimises the risk of lost or misplaced files, offering a comprehensive solution for effective collaboration.

Streamline Tasks with Power Automate

Time is a precious resource, and Microsoft's Power Automate (formerly Workflows) is designed to make the most of it. Shaun, from operations, can automate supply chain functions, gain insights from impactful data, and make informed decisions. The tool eliminates the drudgery of repetitive tasks, allowing your team to focus on driving growth and delivering exceptional customer outcomes.

Power Automate links Microsoft 365 applications and connects workflows across Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Planner, Teams, and more. Manual tasks happen automatically once workflows are set up, progressing seamlessly through phases without constant oversight. Customer inquiries can trigger a sequence of processes, ensuring timely resolution without the risk of requests getting stuck between departments.

Create Internal Reports with Power BI

Power BI empowers your team to create insightful reports that deliver real-time updates. Data from over 200 different internal and external systems, including Excel, Google Analytics, Salesforce, and Azure SQL Database, can be collated and graphed, providing a comprehensive view of your organisation’s performance.

The magic of Power BI extends to automated updates within Microsoft Teams, making analytics more accessible. Imagine a weekly sales report generated from various tracking tools and posted company-wide. This not only keeps your team connected but also saves precious time. Specific data extraction becomes a breeze, with managers effortlessly querying data like asking Google a question.

Implementing SharePoint, Power Automate, and Power BI simplifies work life, saves time, allows focus on critical tasks, enhances customer experience, and boosts overall productivity. If this resonates with your goals, connect with one of our modern workplace specialists today.
