This session of Ask Sympraxis focuses on different methods and steps you can take to empower users while you build your intranet and how to set up Microsoft 365. Not every suggestion will be pertinent to your organization, which is why we suggest starting with the Maturity Model and determining your current and desired levels! This session is also a great reference to come back to as your organization levels up in maturity.
Business Process Automation
Microsoft 365 can be used to automate a wide range of workflows and tasks. Business process automation takes unnecessary administrative tasks off your plate creating more time for deep work in your organization. During this process we may also explore opportunities to simplify systems and reduce recurring manual processes. This will lead to reducing operational costs and improving productivity while expanding process visibility, allowing you to identify key areas for improvement.
Let us help you digitize paper-based processes, formalize approvals, and automate requests. We can support streamlining your business’ operations to help you stay ahead.

Notifications and approvals in lists and libraries

Notifications vs approvals Before jumping headfirst into notifications and approvals in SharePoint lists and libraries, it’s important to note that there are crucial differences in their definitions and use cases. Notifications are often seen as routine and intuitive. They are a one-way form of communication. Approvals on the other hand, go both ways as they require a reply or action. The use cases for each differ as well. When it comes to thinking about the impact on your employees and/or on your projects, it’s important to note that notifications are deniable. It is possible for someone to miss a notification and therefore, you can’t necessarily hold someone accountable for it. An approval, however, requires an interaction and therefore there is no plausible deniability. With that said, that requirement of response can sometimes cause delays. Overall, we suggest you be very thoughtful before you pick a notification or approval given these different impacts.
