Today\u00b4s post is about Office 365 <\/strong>variety of services and how your company can use them to empower your business and users. <\/p>\n

After several years working with the Microsoft PPM Solution<\/strong>, or Project and Portfolio Management Solution, which used to be consisted of: <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Microsoft Project Professional\n
  2. Microsoft SharePoint Server\n
  3. Microsoft Project Server\n
  4. Microsoft Office (Excel, Word)<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s interesting to see how the PPM Solution has evolved. <\/p>\n

    Since Office 365<\/strong> became part of the strategy for most of the organizations, providing cloud services that could integrate with their business as a \u201cYour go-to Office-anywhere<\/em>\u201c, things really started to change. <\/p>\n

    In less than 1 year we saw 70% of our customers moving to the cloud, rapidly! <\/p>\n

    I can remember almost like today, when Power BI was announced: a completely new service, that had his own tool and was promising to do magic with your data! and yes, they were right! <\/p>\n

    Now we see Power BI as a MUST HAVE service on most of our clients, using or not the Microsoft PPM Platform. <\/p>\n

    All this just to say that our Microsoft PPM Solution<\/strong> is growing day after day!
    Thanks Microsoft! <\/p>\n

    The Microsoft PPM Solution<\/strong> it is now more powerful than ever and it\u2019s been supported by several other solutions, services and tools. <\/p>\n

    In order to deliver the best advice to our customers, WE MUST follow what is new.
    The reason is simple: it makes our lives easier and more productive. <\/p>\n

    Look at the sample below where we used several different services and tools, but when properly combined, it just work in full synergy. Such a beautiful synergy that might scare some, but in the end, it will only help our business to achieve more with less! <\/p>\n

    Ok, enough\u2026 These are the services we will use: <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Project Online<\/strong>\n
    2. PowerApps<\/strong>\n
    3. Flow<\/strong>\n
    4. Azure<\/strong> (hosting our service)\n
    5. Office Online<\/strong>\n
    6. OneDrive for Business<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      You can watch the video here and see it live when I challenged one of my colleagues to try it out! \u2013> Special thanks to Signe. \"Smile\" <\/p>\n
