Microsoft’s Power Apps has gained significant traction in recent years, particularly as the pandemic required organisations to quickly develop new web and mobile applications and automate cumbersome business processes.
Auckland-based Digital workspace specialist Deptive has promoted Daniel Almond to the new role of General Manager as it looks to capitalise on the booming demand for cloud-enabled work and collaboration platforms.
As country after country went into lockdown last year, the world’s largest software company faced its own monumental challenge - how to shift a large portion of its 180,000 employees to remote working.
Windows 365 - what having a PC in the cloud means for you. Microsoft recently unveiled Windows 365 Cloud PC, a new software as a service product that will deliver the Windows operating system via a simple web browser.
In this Q&A, Fidelity Life’s Chief Technology Officer, Dan Wilkinson, reflects on the changes the company has gone through to enable a better digital workplace experience for its more than 300 staff.
Power Apps can automate mundane processes and make you more productive in the process. Here’s Deptive’s top tips to get the most out of this powerful platform.
A couple of years ago, we embarked on an exercise at Deptive to clarify what our values as a company were. Together, we came up with lots of great ideas. We all agreed we had a culture that values hard work, honesty and accountability - we like to get sh*t done!
In 2020, the nature of work changed forever. The pandemic forced us into home offices, up-ended our usual ways of collaborating and required a level of flexibility and trust that existed in few workplaces previously.
A track record of enabling digital transformation and a deep experience of Microsoft’s productivity and collaboration applications will underpin a new Modern Workplace practice at digital workspace specialist, Deptive.
We are racing towards the end of the year, summer is coming and so too it seems maybe a vaccine that will help us put Covid-19 behind us once and for all. But the huge shift to remote working the pandemic lockdowns and social distancing spurred all over the world isn’t reversing itself any time soon.
The paperless office has been promised for decades but still hasn’t arrived. True, mankind’s longest-standing medium for recording information was never going to be phased out overnight. But in 2020 we’re still waiting and still printing.
After weeks of working from their bedrooms, kitchens and lounges – all the while doing their best to maintain their productivity – employees are now gradually returning to the office.
Over the past 20 years, the technology landscape has completely transformed. We’ve seen the emergence of the cloud, the digital workspace, and the increasing prevalence of a subscription-based model of software: software-as-a-service (SaaS).
