Maximise Your Existing Infrastructure to Accelerate Digital Transformation

-

We have been hearing lately that – how an organisation can maximise their return with existing infrastructure to accelerate the digital transformation.

But what can it do for you? How can it help you maximise the use of existing infrastructure and investment – specifically Office 365 and MS Teams, to address your current challenges and accelerate your journey to get to the next level of Digital Maturity.

To explain that, lets first look at the traditional method of developing and delivering systems without delving too much into the different methodologies. Typically, the business would capture their requirements, and then decide to build (develop and validate) or buy (select and off the shelf application and configure it), then implement the system. Typically, this would take a significant time from start to finish. This may still be the route for implementing large scale deployments e.g. implementing a Manufacturing Execution System. But in terms of the following use cases, is there a new way :

  • Automating a business process or workflow, that is largely paper based, involves people interacting with several systems, and also using tools like excel in the middle
  • Implementing a new process or change to a process as a result of a Lean or Continuous Improvement project
  • Applying technology to Visual Management, to try and lean out the non-value-add activities such as manually collecting data, transcription to white boards, transfer to excel for charting, and then printing out of the daily, weekly or monthly charts
  • Action Trackers and Problem Trackers
  • Addressing the new problem of involving key remote based staff in daily Gembas or Tiered Meetings in a meaningful way, reviewing metrics, and the different elements including Safety, Quality, Delivery etc.

We believe there is a new way of tackling these use cases, and moving forward on the digital transformation journey, in a way that develops a much more collaborative culture and involves more people in the organisation.

Mitigate Risk in your Processes and address Digital Gaps with No Code -Low-Code applications

We are working with clients in a collaborative way which brings software specialists and business users together, to build solutions rapidly, delivering incremental benefit, while also upskilling internal business users who would have gravitated to Excel and macros to use a more comprehensive No Code, Low-Code platform to deliver apps, automate processes and close these digital gaps between their core systems.

Collaboration is key. You are closest to the challenges you are trying to address. We have the technical skills in the platform, and experience of delivering solutions.

But how does the engagement really work, what are the real benefits to the organisation in comparison to the “old way”. To be honest, it’s more of a journey than a process. But a journey that delivers benefits and productivity to the business as you progress.

At Prometix we us the design thinking methodology to develop the solutions using the Power Platform.

Design Thinking revolves around a deep interest in developing an understanding of the people for whom we’re designing the products or services. It helps us observe and develop empathy with the target user. Design Thinking helps us in the process of questioning: questioning the problem, questioning the assumptions, and questioning the implications. Design Thinking is extremely useful in tackling problems that are ill-defined or unknown, by re-framing the problem in human-centric ways, creating many ideas in brainstorming sessions, and adopting a hands-on approach in prototyping and testing. Design Thinking also involves ongoing experimentation: sketching, prototyping, testing, and trying out concepts and ideas. Using this method we have delivered numerous successful projects.

Prometix as a Microsoft Gold certified partner and certified O365 consultants (Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne & Perth), we have extensive experience in delivering Office 365 based solutions & especially in Power Platform. We have also developed toolset that will migrate records from your legacy system to SharePoint without losing the digital continuity.

Microsoft Teams is the home for the modern workplace of the future

-
W hile using legacy systems, users previously had to jump between several different systems through a series of bookmarks or company portals. This constant switching can be incredibly disruptive. According to a June 2015 UC Irvine study, “The Cost of Interrupted Work: More Speed and Stress,” it can take upwards of 23 minutes for a person to regain productivity after such an interruption. Microsoft Teams is the hub for teamwork Microsoft believes Microsoft Teams is the home for the modern workplace of the future. Out of the box, Microsoft Teams brings together the most common tasks that employees need under a single roof, such as chats, meetings, calls, and the productivity suite of Office 365. By combining these together into a sole product, employees can avoid having to constantly switch between various contexts. Instead, they can spend their time within a single team or channel that effortlessly brings together all the relevant information in-context. The Microsoft Power Platfo

Data Governance with Azure Purview

The modern workplace his a data-centric world. Organisations are always increasing the amount of data they must collect, store, and analyse to inform critical business decisions and measure their organisation’s performance. As data becomes increasingly important, so do the tools needed to discover, manage, and track information in the absence of a data governance program. In the absence of a data governance program, the decisions made about key data systems are made by association staff who “own” the system. When there are different owners for systems (which is very common), the result is inconsistencies in data availability, collection, usability, integrity, and security. This instantly causes data quality problems. It also can negatively impact user experience if there is no integration or procedures to update the existing data within your environment. If you and your organisation find yourselves in such a predicament, Prometix highly recommends deploying an Azure Purview solution.

Collaboration with SharePoint VS MS Teams

-
With all the hustle and bustle of the workplace, it can be hard to find exactly what you’re looking for or know who to ask. Defining who is working on what and how they’re involved in the project isn’t always a simple task. Although SharePoint has made managing and sharing content easier, it still isn’t as seamless as its end users would hope. Being able to access content and applications all in one place is useful but doesn’t solve the problem of how to organize information that is only relevant to certain groups. The main goal of SharePoint is to facilitate collaboration, but when content is broadcasted to the entire organization, it can make end users unsure which information applies to them. Microsoft has acknowledged this issue with the creation of its new collaboration tools, SharePoint team sites and Microsoft Teams . These allow end users to create separate areas specifically designed for certain projects they’re working on and for the teams they’re working with. By organizi
