We're all part of a community and it's good to be involved.
Until recently many years were spent assisting with the administration of Wanstead Rugby Club, as Secretary and several other roles, using industry skills and knowledge to help bring the clubs data and systems into shape.
A big step carried out for the club was migrating memberships to the RFUs 'GMS' system, utilising the RFUs site templates to a new website and deploying Office 365 for email and document management.
I was grateful to receive a 'Valued Volunteer' 2020/21 award from the RFU.
Proud Sponsor of Wanstead RFC Colts team.
Build websites from scratch using the Microsoft Power Platform and Power Pages, connected to a Dataverse data repository, and manage with Dynamics365 or a PowerApps model-driven-app and Power Automate.
No-code development offers businesses the possibility of creating fully functional tailored systems in weeks and months instead of years.
Microsoft Data Export Services and Tabular Data Stream (TDS) provides for a copy of Dataverse data to Azure SQL or Azure Synapse for further processing and analysis by Azure SQL, Power BI or many other analytical and visualisation platforms.
PowerApps model-driven apps allow you to view and manage all related Dataverse data, such as Leads created from the Get In Touch page, products and services listed in your Product catalogue, then validate leads to create Opportunities, make Quotes, confirm to Sales and generate Invoices, all of which can be integrated with other platforms like QuickBooks for example. Dynamics 365 Sales comes with all of this functionality, and more, pre-built.
Power Automate executes a huge range of behind-the-scenes logic such as to automatically turn Leads into Contacts and Accounts, manage Basket Items, Sale Confirmation PDFs and Invoice Items.
The fast evolving pace of modern technology and cloud based services means that developers can no longer safely rely on a single skill set to see them through a working life time. As the tectonic plates shift it's easy to be left behind.
Our grounding is over two decades of enterprise experience in Microsoft based languages and technologies, particularly SQL Server, and it is now about the extrapolation of this into the wider modern Data-Driven paradigm, like the Microsoft Power Platform.
The work-from-home revolution is only just beginning, we were ahead of the curve on this.
With a huge investment in ensuring there is no advantage to being site based, even the latest offerings from coworking centres cannot compete with the efficiencies offered by a well provisioned home work space.
The flexibility of contractors and micro businesses offer companies a solution to short term requirements.
Operating from our bespoke development studio office facilities, we have quick direct access into the City, Liverpool Street and any part of London's transport network via the central line.
We are also very close to the North Circular, A12, M11 and M25 to get to wherever is required, however is required.
