“The team has demonstrated real dedication in analysing the issues we were facing, and they have proven to produce the best solutions relevant to our unique challenges. Our data is now much easier to use, access, and importantly secure! Our communication is better, and we are much quicker when using the different applications. The quality of the training was very good. I would recommend Appetite for its commitment to client success and bespoke services”
Lyndsey Greer Phillips, Former President.

The Client

Association of Scottish Business Women (ASB), founded in 1995, is a not-for-profit organisation with 9 affiliated groups and 1,000+ members, empowering women in business across Scotland through networking, knowledge sharing, and mentoring programs.

Challenges

ASB faced several challenges with document management and communication, which included:

  • Difficulties in accessing files, as members often lost emails
    and couldn’t share information easily.
  • Poor file storage and sharing, with members exceeding the
    available storage space and facing additional costs.
  • Inadequate email system, leading to the loss of important
    messages and the lack of professionalism conveyed.
  • Lack of remote working capabilities, which affected the
    organisation’s ability to organise virtual meetings during the
    coronavirus pandemic and slowed down ongoing projects.

To address these issues, the ASB sought to adopt a new, unified solution that would allow for seamless document management and communication, provide more storage space, and enable remote working capabilities.

What Appetite for Business did

Appetite collaborated with ASB’s committee members to understand their document management and communication challenges. We identified Microsoft 365 as the obvious solution and migrated the data and documents to SharePoint, providing secure and intuitive access. OneDrive was also set up for secure document sharing, eliminating the need for extra emailing. Training on Outlook allowed for more efficient and organised communication, and Microsoft Teams enabled remote project management and virtual meetings.

  • Migration to SharePoint for document management.
  • Implementation of OneDrive for secure document sharing.
  • Training on Outlook for efficient communication.
  • Adoption of Microsoft Teams for remote project management and virtual meetings.

Client Outcomes

With the new solutions, ASB committee members can easily manage, share, and store documents, resulting in more efficient work. Communication is now organised, with email management and personal signatures conveying a professional image. Remote project
management is also now possible, allowing for virtual meetings and easier sharing of documents.

  • Efficient document management and sharing.
  • Organised communication and professional image.
  • Remote project management and virtual meetings.
