By now we have all heard the Labor Department statistics on job openings and the challenges in finding qualified candidates. As of August 2nd, job openings totaled 10.7 million with 1.8 jobs available for every unemployed worker. Obviously finding key employees to add to your team is imperative, but in the short run, we all need to figure out how to supercharge our existing team with Office 365 automation so that we can get the work done and keep our customers happy.
One of the major enablers of this improved efficiency will be through the continued use of technology. Microsoft recently published a blog showcasing how technology can be leveraged to rebuild your frontline team here. A key component of this technological enablement will include Office 365. It serves as the backbone for most organizations for their communication, collaboration, and productivity.
In addition to standard Office 365, thousands of apps have been developed by Microsoft partners that can be found on the AppSource Marketplace, including DynamicPoint’s line of products.
DynamicPoint Apps and Office 365
All of DynamicPoint’s products leverage Office 365 including products such as SharePoint, Power Automate, Power Apps, and Power BI.
