Enhanced Collaboration with Microsoft 365
Enhanced collaboration focuses on people and efficient processes but also encompasses solid foundation, communication, and the effective use of technology. At Puzzlepart, we've been working with Microsoft technology to facilitate collaboration since our beginnings in 2008.
The technology for collaboration is rapidly evolving. It's more important than ever to work together effectively and ensure that our colleagues are proficient with the tools we use every day to tackle our tasks.
Good Tools Are Half The Job
However, solid foundation, ownership, understanding of technology, and mastery are equally crucial. To successfully adopt new technology, we need to empower people by promoting user adoption and managing change well.
We need to foster an awareness and desire to change work habits for a successful implementation of new technologies and to truly enhance collaboration. That’s why we focus on our speciality: change management for the implementation of Microsoft technology.
How Do We Get Started With Better Collaboration?
Collaboration is at the heart of any modern digitalization strategy. The essential tools for excellent collaboration in the Microsoft cloud are:
Teams
For Conversations and Group Discussions
All meetings, conversations, and documents in one place - all the time.
- Quickly reach out to colleagues by tagging them with "@"
- Get quick access to the documents you are working on
- Keep track of discussions in various groups and departments
- Enhance knowledge sharing throughout the organization
Microsoft Teams has set a new standard for how we collaborate in teams, projects, departments, and across the entire organization - and of course, how we engage with external users.
SharePoint
For Secure Storage and Sharing
Get your documents in order by creating a better culture for collaboration and sharing.
- Secure document storage
- Lists and data collection, including from the web
- Publish guides and manuals for employees
- News and newsletters with audience targeting
SharePoint provides employees with a central place to create sites, collaborate on projects, and manage information. SharePoint supports advanced document management and secure sharing with external users.
Viva Engage
Your Social Network
It is important to distinguish the various communication channels in a company so that we can have a more relaxed environment.
- Create different groups for different interests in the organization.
- Make announcements that all employees see.
- Use Engage to praise employees and spread good vibes.
- Share daily work situations with colleagues.
Viva Engage is the organization's social network, facilitating both professional, job-related, and social communication. Create a variety of communities with different focus areas and different member groups
Power Platform
For Consolidated Work Processes
It's time to bid farewell to large Excel sheets and storing contact information in Outlook.
- Build Power Apps on top of SharePoint or Dataverse.
- Harness the power of existing apps in the Dynamics 365 CE universe.
- Create better workflows through Power Automate.
- Visualize and analyze data with Power BI.
Microsoft's Power Platform allows you to structure critical data and achieve a unified workflow. Collaborate on important data in apps or create flows that simplify manual processes and share them with colleagues.
