Becoming a Power Automate wizard overnight is a tricky question considering your day-to-day responsibilities! And once you are, you may find yourself overwhelmed with internal requests for more and more automation.
At Encodian, we understand one size doesn’t fit all; that’s why we’ve learned to be super flexible and build a bespoke service for each customer to help them complete their own personal Microsoft 365 puzzle.
Here are just a few roles we’ve taken to support our customers:
Your Helpful Hand – Draw upon support sessions in 30-minute bitesize chunks, perfect for those delivering their automation projects which need agile and hands-on support to execute at pace.
Mr/Mrs. WAGOLL – We show you ‘What A Good One Looks Like’ and help you take on the more challenging flows together while supplying helpful handover sessions to boost your Power Automate independence.
The End-to-End Partner – It’s not uncommon for effective organisations to focus on their direct value-add activities; anything else is just a distraction! If that is you, point us towards your desired business goals, and leave the rest to us.
