Automating, Optimizing, and Improving. An introduction to Microsoft Flow & PowerApps

In this SharePoint/Office 365 User Group session, we demonstrate the convergence of Microsoft technologies and will show the group how SharePoint, Microsoft Flow, and PowerApps come together to automate a critical business process. Kiefer Senior Consultant, Satya Cherukumilli, will demonstrate how he automated and optimized a business workflow using Microsoft Flow and PowerApps.

The demo will show how a workflow is kicked-off, the process of routing and review, and ultimately, how approvals work in the workflow. We will give you an up-close look at how the solution was built, how it can have a significant impact on a process that is manual in nature or paper-based. The demo will focus on a simple workflow that is common across all organizations, large and small! We’ll also share other practical applications for Flow and PowerApps in this informative 1-hour session.

In this session:

  • Learn more about Microsoft Flow & Power Apps
  • See a demo of a Microsoft Flow that was built specifically for this session
  • The Kiefer team shares other common processes that are ready for optimization using Flow and PowerApps
  • Q & A with Satya

Satya is new to the area, but has delivered numerous sessions as a member of the SharePoint User Group in Alabama. Join us for a session that will help you get familiar with these new offerings from Microsoft and get a deeper understanding of how SharePoint integrates with the full-suite of Office 365 applications.

SharePoint Classic vs. SharePoint Modern: A Kiefer Assessment (Part 1)

Microsoft SharePoint supports two basic User Interfaces (UI) designs; The “Classic” experience, and the “Modern” experience.  The “Classic” experience is a highly customizable user interface that integrates SharePoint lists and libraries.  The “Modern” experience is mobile ready, (currently) limits the visual customization that can be done, makes the creators’ experience more intuitive, and makes the user’s experience more collaborative. Many clients have asked us if they should use SharePoint “Modern” instead of “Classic”?

Go with the Flow. An introduction to Microsoft Flow.

Kiefer was fortunate to see Microsoft Flow and PowerApps at the Microsoft hosted “Future of SharePoint” event in San Francisco, CA on May 4, 2016. During this event, Microsoft representatives talked about the importance of SharePoint power users learning to use Flow and Power Apps since they would be built-in with SharePoint. It was immediately after that event that Kiefer team members started to discuss how we could get on the Flow and Power Apps bandwagon. We are well established as a go-to partner when it comes to digital business process transformation, so it would be critical that we not only learned Flow and Power Apps, but we needed to become experts in the technology. We also know that Microsoft Flow in government has huge potential to improve legacy processes and common processes across numerous departments in the public-sector.
