In this month’s blog, we are again digging into the hidden gems of Microsoft 365. We have previously looked at Microsoft Teams, but here we will go into more detail about how to set up and host a meeting on Teams.
We will look at the various functions available on Teams and how to make the most of them, as well as how to prepare yourself to ensure your meeting goes off without a hitch.
Power BI is a leading cloud native tool for self-service and enterprise business intelligence (BI) that transforms raw, real-time data, from a wide variety of sources, into reports and visual dashboards seamlessly infused with the apps you use every day. It is a simple and intuitive way to bring your business data to life and into the hands of decision makers.
For this month’s blog we continue our Hidden Gems of Microsoft 365 series with Microsoft Bookings.
Microsoft Bookings is a handy app to help organise meetings and schedule appointments, for you and your team, which can also be integrated with Microsoft Teams to further streamline your business workflow.
We have looked at Power Apps in a previous blog, but this month we will look at how you can use robotic process automation (RPA) to easily streamline your repetitive business processes with Power Automate.
This month we are looking at Power Apps, Microsoft’s solution to building low-code apps, with little to no developer experience, to transform the way your business operates.
In last month’s Microsoft Planner blog we looked at Microsoft’s powerful planning tool. This month we delve into Microsoft To Do, another key app in the Microsoft task ecosystem which helps you manage and achieve those tasks on a day-to-day basis.
Planner and To Do work hand in hand to help you take control of your workload. Where Planner is a team task organiser, To Do is a personal task organiser.
Leading on from last months Microsoft Teams blog, we will continue by looking at an app that is a key feature in the Microsoft 365 task ecosystem, the Microsoft Planner app. This intuitive visual collaboration and planning software can be used as a standalone app or as part of the larger integrated Microsoft task experience. Allowing groups of any size to plot-out projects and organise tasks in a way that is both visually appealing and easy to follow.
Last month we took a deep dive into the benefits of SharePoint (link to last months blog), briefly touching on how well SharePoint and Teams go hand in hand to produce a seamless collaborative workflow. Today we will look further into Microsoft Teams features which unify real-time messaging, video conferencing, collaboration and organisational tools helping you streamline your business workflow and improve productivity.
For the second instalment of our Microsoft 365 Hidden Gems series, we look at SharePoint and its powerful mobile intranet capabilities to keep your team informed and bring your team together whether they are in the office, working from home or in a different country. Join us to find out why SharePoint has risen to be one of the top-rated intranet platforms in the world.
