Ever found yourself grumbling about how things are done at work? Maybe it's that endless approval chain or the complicated way the simplest tasks are handled. If so, we feel you!
Want to get the latest news about technology and AI, then there is only one person you need to hear from and that's me!!
Power Apps is a Microsoft platform that enables you to create custom business applications with little or no coding. You can use Power Apps to create apps that run on web browsers, mobile devices, or desktops, and that connect to various data sources, such as SharePoint, Excel, SQL Server, Dynamics 365, or Azure. Clever, eh?
For many people, new technology feels a bit scary, especially when it’s an investment for your SME business. You know the benefits of going more digital, but maybe you’re a bit hesitant about it all.
We see a lot of companies that use Microsoft SharePoint for their internal file management and then a separate service. We have some good news – you don’t need to!
It’s easy for a technology company to say you should use a technology. But do they use it themselves? Well, we can say that yes we do use Microsoft Power Apps ourselves.
Businesses are always trying to improve their customer service. But what about the Customer Experience? The past few decades have seen processes get smarter with customers demanding (and expecting) more, faster, with even better customer service.
In the modern world, connectivity is everything. Our ability to connect quickly to our colleagues, customers, suppliers and other partners underpins everything in business and it is important that we can do so quickly and with as little ‘friction’ as possible. The simplest way, and the one we are all most familiar with these days, is text messaging through a mobile app.
A few weeks ago I had to work from my Brother-in-Law’s house in Southport, Merseyside. It was a real test of the ‘work from anywhere’ ideal that we hear about these days.
To understand where our customers are with their processes we use a six stage maturity model. Before we can start to assess anything, we need to be clear what a business process actually is.
Everywhere you look these days you see posts, articles and books about how you need to change your business. While for people who have spent a lifetime building a business that’s not always an easy message to hear, I think 2020 has showed that increased agility, productivity and mobility will be important. As we normalise life after COVID-19, or perhaps live permanently with it, the changes it forced upon us will have a long impact.
