Presenting Apps 365's Asset Management in Microsoft Teams
Discover how Apps 365 transforms asset management for end users on Microsoft Teams, resulting in enhanced service delivery and improved employee experiences.
The last two decades of adopting specialized software have fragmented enterprise information, workflows, and service teams. This has led to increased context switching for everyone, resulting in higher costs, frustration, and inefficient service delivery.
In every workplace, the enterprise tech stack has become significantly fragmented, frustrating employees with the multitude of SaaS applications for internal support. Seeking help often means navigating multiple tools, submitting requests, searching for answers in various documents, and following lengthy service request procedures.
At Apps 365, we believe there’s a straightforward solution to this issue: a asset management software that allows employees to get assistance in the tools where they spend most of their time—Microsoft Teams.
A Personal Assistant for Employees in Microsoft Teams
Our AI Assistant leverages context from the enterprise applications that IT and HR teams utilize for their digital workplaces, integrates information from existing knowledge management systems, and accesses service catalog items to deliver personalized and contextual support on demand within Microsoft Teams.
Designed with data privacy and enterprise security at the forefront, the assistant can assist employees in standard channels with common inquiries or provide guidance via direct messaging. This allows IT and HR teams to focus on more strategic tasks instead of repetitively answering standard questions.
The assistant goes beyond addressing simple queries like “What is the holiday policy?” by helping employees tackle tedious tasks such as gathering information from various sources or identifying the right person to contact for assistance when needed.
Knowledge base consolidates enterprise knowledge from multiple sources—SharePoint sites, policy documents, Teams conversations, connected applications, and other trusted knowledge repositories—to generate clear and concise answers to employee problems. IT and HR teams can link their knowledge management systems to Apps 365, enabling the assistant to function as a true support resource. It even learns from conversations in standard channels, continuously updating its knowledge without requiring prompts.
Knowledge Source for Employee Self-Service
While ensuring a simple experience, we have also prioritized safety, security, and compliance. The assistant adheres to the Apps 365 TRUST framework to guarantee that all AI interactions are Transparent, Responsible, User-centric, Secure, and Traceable. This ensures that it operates ethically and securely, delivering trustworthy and seamless AI experiences.
Apps 365 serves as a asset management hub where employees can request everyday services like hardware or software access. IT and HR teams can establish a service catalog and create relevant workflows, such as approval seeking, to expedite resolutions. Employees receive updates on their requests through Teams and can inquire about status.
Instant service with automated resolutions is available for common IT requests like software provisioning, password resets, distribution list access, and more. When employees make such requests, the assistant logs them, obtains necessary approvals (for auditing purposes), and promptly provides solutions to the end user (e.g., resetting passwords, granting software access through Azure AD groups, remotely installing apps through Intune).
An Asset Management Platform for Service Teams
An Enterprise Automations Hub
Apps 365 can also automate manual, repetitive tasks throughout the enterprise tech stack and enhance the employee experience.
For instance, service teams can utilize Apps 365 to create onboarding workflows that extend beyond essential tasks like granting access to software through Azure AD, setting up Workday profiles, and creating email addresses. These workflows can also include adding new hires to relevant Teams channels and sending personalized check-ins at regular intervals. This enables productivity gains from connected applications without the integration complexity or maintenance challenges typically associated with such projects.
