As more and more organisations adopt Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint they are in-turn looking for addon products that work alongside Office 365 to provide business solutions. In doing so businesses are looking to maintain their shift to a single solution approach and taking full advantage of the Office 365 suite.
Combined Knowledge and PointSolutions have worked with organisations, large and small, to help them benefit from Office 365 and provide a line of business (LoB) solution through SharePoint based products including a HR Management System; PeoplePoint 365 and Learning Management; LearningPoint 365 and a range of Learning Tools; Training+, Computer Based Training Modules and Support+.
HR and Digital Transformation
SaaS, apps and single platform solutions are providing HR leaders with the core tools to manage employee life-cycle and focus their time on what really counts. The remarkable rise of Office 365 adoption can be seen as part of an overarching digital transformation in the way businesses approach their IT and people systems, a shift towards a more integrated, flexible cloud based approach that facilitates a more streamlined experience and empowers users across all sizes of organisations. As part of this shift, more and more businesses are realising the benefits of having their HR, learning and people focused systems work inside the Microsoft Office 365 suite; as it helps to facilitate the shift towards a single platform solution and maximises return on investment.
Employees and the Digital Workplace
Given the skills shortages we’re experiencing in the UK at the moment, retaining good people is ever more critical to a business’s bottom line. As recruitment costs soar, and recruitment remains so time-consuming, many of our clients are focusing on using training and development to up-skill employees, increase retention and encourage promotion from within. At the same time, these businesses are increasingly looking to reduce the number of systems they use, combined with a move to the cloud.
LearningPoint365 is an Azure Learning Management System (LMS) application that integrates with Azure AD authentication and utilises SharePoint as the database management system within the client’s own tenancy. This allows the client to own their data and integrate and extend their existing deployment, or act as a catalyst to adopt SharePoint.
Positioning of LearningPoint365 within O365 and Azure allows organisations to utilise the wider O365 service-set as part of the LMS functionality, such as Flow & PowerApps to create 360 feedback forms and PowerBI to build dashboards.
Using the extended Office 365 features, including PowerApps and Flow also promotes usage of the Office 365 native mobile apps to provide mobile-first user experiences for end users, on-the-go.
