YAMMER

Whilst Teams is at the heart of your business collaboration, Yammer delivers the ability to connect across your business to drive culture, community and communication.

Yammer allows a richer, deep level of connection between the organisation and its people leading to an inclusive and informed population, and a move to outcome-driven messaging.

Yammer is highly effective for corporate messaging from the Executive and senior leaders, whilst also offering the perfect platform for your employees to communicate upwards or across different business verticals. Yammer becomes the place to share ideas, crowd-source solutions and drive innovation throughout your business.

Yammer can be delivered as an application within the Teams user interface and when deployed together users can collaborate on a file or a post within Teams before posting a to the wider Yammer group.

Yammer can be used on desktop or mobile and puts the power of your people into their hands.

WORKFLOW AUTOMATION AND APPS

Most organisations can identify a long list of simple, repeatable manual processes which create inefficiency and inaccuracy. Processes that involve multiple disparate platforms or duplication of data are tying up key resources on low value manual tasks.

Workplace Automation removes this unnecessary workload by deploying simple integrations between Microsoft Teams and other Office365 or 3rd party SaaS platforms.

POMT can develop and deploy integrations and automation workflows between existing applications utilising Bots delivered within the MS Teams’ user interface to collect and direct user input to other systems

Some of the workflow automation that POMT has made possible for our clients includes:

An integrated approach to Incident management with automated creation of Channels to manage user participation
