Office alone does not make a workplace digital

Microsoft 365 applications and services are essential to practically every digital workplace, but digital workplaces aren’t just about writing emails or creating PowerPoint presentations. Generally, there’s at least one other system for staff to grapple with, such as ERP, CRM or PLM software.

This is where our digital adoption solution comes in, bringing together staff, processes and technology. Only when these three variables interact smoothly is there a chance that the potential of new software applications and constantly changing business processes can be exploited in full.

Our solution, the tts performance suite, helps you boost digital adoption in your organization – regardless of whether that involves SAP S/4HANA, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, etc.

Each month, our guide of the month presents you with step-by-step instructions that we will make available to you in the tts performance suite. You can find out more here:
