“It’s a highly effective yet easy, accessible, and low-cost solution for doing daily tasks faster.”
"We believe that the work Microsoft are doing in the accessibility space is something that aligns perfectly with our mission."
"Planning activities, resources management and cost management have become easier. Since our transition to Project for the web, we resolve issues 3 times faster than before."
“The main achievement with our new Microsoft tools is the ability to deliver the information in the shortest time possible and perform onsite verifications with accuracy and precision of data.”
"Microsoft delivers office employees productivity tools that were inconceivable a few years ago. One employee used Microsoft PowerApps to create a digital form that may save us months of work every year."
"Using Office 365 apps on their mobile devices is huge for project managers, as they travel to mechanical shops or construction sites to oversee some of the biggest projects at Amtrak."
"With its cloud-based business intelligence tools, such as PowerApps, Microsoft has hit it out of the park. I use these tools to create apps that address business needs on the fly."
“Since colleagues have discovered that we’ve accomplished all this ourselves, I’ve been receiving requests from multiple departments, service organizations, and groups within Amtrak. I have been asked to help build training materials, to come and speak, to update SharePoint sites, to create forms, and to streamline processes using Microsoft Flow. I start by asking them what they want to do, then I show them the Office 365 tools and how they can make it happen. They take it from there, it’s that simple.”
"With the app created in PowerApps, we’re getting more information, more easily. We don’t waste a lot of time. We know exactly where our work is every day. We know what happened in the last month, and what may happen in the future. It’s a very effective tool."
"Reps no longer put together a full spreadsheet, rather they just enter a few simple data points in the app. It takes them 5 to 10 minutes a day compared to about 30 minutes a day previously. This adds up to about 10 hours a month for each rep in time saved."
"In the past, we had to go through the whole building to check whether a room was available. Now, we can use our mobile devices to reserve a room before we even get to the office."
"Before, no one knew what PowerApps was. After launching RoomFinder, people are thinking about other possibilities. They’re thinking that, if this works, there may be other problems that we can solve with PowerApps as well."
“When teams resolve the problems they encounter when executing their work, they in effect define efficient operational models.”
“To implement a self-monitoring process using available technology and identify areas of focus and trends (non-compliance) in real time.”
"The apps we’ve developed with PowerApps make it easier to complete our daily tasks, while having everything in one place so everybody has complete visibility."
