Transforming M365 into your ultimate productivity powerhouse

Our team, with 20 years of experience, specializes in leveraging Microsoft Copilot, Azure AI Studio, Power Platform, and SharePoint to their fullest. We commit significant time to deeply understanding your requirements,unlocking the platforms' full potential for you.

SharePoint

Building SharePoint solutions since 2013, we know all about the platform, working design patterns, do's and dont's, web part development and automation using the PnP PowerShell Module and Power Automate.

Power Platform

Creating simple Power Apps is easy; crafting complex ones is a challenge. We know the limits of the platform and can deliver outstanding, user-friendly apps that help your people get their job done faster.

Copilot & Azure AI Studio

From simple Copilots to security-trimmed and tightly governed AI tools, we build modern solutions that connect to your enterprise data, transform information, and surface it in your M365 apps.

M365 / SharePoint GPT Integration

We offer 2 solutions: 1) The standard solution using Azure AI Builder and Copilot Studio. The front end can be embedded in Teams, on intranet pages as well as on SharePoint site pages. 2) The premium solution using custom backends and the SharePoint GPT web part for conversations. This solution can connect to many LLM backends: Copilot, LLMs in Azure, and OpenAI ChatGPT. The web part can be displayed on any SharePoint page as an overlay to give you instant access from anywhere in SharePoint.

LLM SharePoint Page Creation

We have created a LLM based Page Creator that uses predefined prompts and templates to automatically create fact sheets and landing pages for complex topics based on a set of custom requirements. Our custom data crawler links to your databases, documents, intranet, and SharePoint pages, enhancing searchability through Microsoft search. The resulting pages can be updated automatically. The output is in Markdown or CSV format so you can import it to other apps and processes.

SharePoint Migrations

Our team has migrated terrabytes of documents in thousands of sites. We have standard process with customizable tooling, designed to deliver high quality results with predictable deadlines. We have also built a self-service migration solution where site owners can prepare their sites for migration and let the backend migrate them overnight.

Teams / SharePoint Site Analysis

Our SharePoint Site Scanner can give you detailed reports over the most used / less used teams and sites, types of stored documents, duplicate files and content by year. Based on this data we can create weekly reports, making it easy for you to monitor and manage the growth of your Teams and SharePoint sites.

Security and Guest Access Check

Our SharePoint Permission Scanner can give you all information about broken permission inheritance, guest users, SharingLinks, who shared what with whom and when. It's comparable to the ShareGate reports but with much more detail and all members of all Azure AD groups (even nested ones).

SharePoint Cleanup & Archiving

We can help you saving storage costs. Our SharePoint Version Scanner gives you detailed insights about the amount of storage occupied by file versions. We can identify unused sites and documents, and reduce the amount of used storage by over 80% by archiving sites in-place or to dedicated archives.

  • Enter reports in a multi step assistant like user interface

  • User friendly risk matrix for risk assessment

  • File uploader, people picker, realtime data validation

  • Overview of all submitted reports with approval status

Working methods and design philosophy

Working methods

1

Know the problem

Begin with the design when you fully understand what problem is to be solved. Break tasks down until they become sharp and clear. Write a mission statement.

2

Design it 100%

Changes can become costly afterwards. Deliver a consistent and detailed design & functional specification to key users and developers and discuss alternatives early.

3

Functional prototype

Focus on functionality and operational stability. Users will forgive an imperfect UI but not crashes and failures. Make it reliable even at the cost of skipping features.

4

Test while you code

There is no “We’ll fix it afterwards.” Develop new features only if you finished all tests and fixed all known critical bugs. Establish a One-Click-Release process early.

5

Document user feedback

Go to key users and observe how they use your product without training. Write down questions, problems, feature ideas & changes. Create a usability report and a final product specification.

6

Finalize the product

Finalize features and documentation. Create a site for documentation, help and user feedback. Update the backlog for further releases. Build attention before the final release.

Design philosophy

1

Minimalistic

Users expect simple solutions for complex problems. Design for unexperienced users first. Offer simple and safe actions while letting them explore features in detail as they use the app. Instead of oversimplifying the problem, try to simplify the solution.

2

Self-explanatory

Users usually don't read manuals. Provide tool-tips with keyboard shortcuts and context-related help. Include previews and walkthroughs. Also make it easy to disable all proactive help. Provide a full and versioned documentation on- and offline.

3

Explorative

Use different screens for beginners and experienced users and allow for easy switching between these views. Actions and customizations should be reversible using known concepts like undo, back, factory reset, and command lists.

4

Innovative

Our main goal is to enable people to work as fast as they think. Innovative solutions do more with less. Make deep domain specific knowledge, years of experience and complex mental models accessible to the unexperienced user as simple executable actions and predefined tasks & configurations.

5

Do the impossible

Impress users by simplifying their most complex and time-consuming tasks. Measure your solutions value by the amount of complexity it reduces, the errors it eliminates and the time it saves the user.

6

Always just works

Reliability is the result of a carefully designed architecture that expects the unexpected. Weird usage patterns or inputs should never break your app. Focus on data consistence and safe transactions. Help your users understand your apps inner workings.

7

Empowering

Let interested users gain additional knowledge about the problems context and alternative solutions. Link to resources that add value: cheat-sheets, tutorials, articles. Help the user become an educated professional by explaining terms, definitions, concepts and best practices.

8

Personal

Offer saving and loading of configurations wherever possible. Allow users to edit, export and import configuration files. Always use encryption for personal data. Remember last used context information: directories, filenames, options, user input and selections.

9

Affordable

Provide free demos, documentation and tutorials. Make sure customers can try before buy. Use multi-tier pricing models to allow users to up- and downgrade as their needs change.
