Transforming Business
with Technology: AVASOFT
Driving digital transformation for businesses with solutions that scale along with their evolving
business needs and helping them build modern workplaces that work the way they do
R
adhakrishnan(RK) and his
partner co-founded AVASOFT
11 years ago with the goal
of bringing the best solutions to
the table and transforming their
clients’ businesses by leveraging
the latest tools and technologies.
Understanding that digital
transformation is the key to drive
business, they started investing in
Office 365 in order to help clients
build, define, and execute digital
strategies in the modern workplace
that actually delivered business
value.
With a strong emphasis on building
reusable frameworks across
the solutions they developed,
AVASOFT applied this approach
when delivering these Office 365
modern workplace solutions.
Investing in Office 365 products
and employees with Office 365
expertise has helped AVASOFT
deliver consistency in terms of
both custom features and usability
across the solutions they have
built. With employees and the
way they work as top of mind,
they have always been able to
bring a consolidated focus of
efficiency through employee-driven
collaboration, productivity, and
data-driven automation of business
processes.
The origin of the
migration tool -
AVAMIGRATRON
Expertise with the Office 365
ecosystem naturally led to an
influx of customers needing us to
help them not just move to Office
365 but truly transform their
digital workplace experience. In
this, AVASOFT found that digital
transformation was its competitive
differentiator; it was never just
about the move, it was about
unlocking the full potential of the
platform they were moving to and
using this as a way to completely
reinvent company culture and
employee productivity.
It was this single-minded focus
on the holistic, across-the-board
transformation that led to the
development of a unique suite of
migration tools to serve clients
through their migration journey.
These tools encompass migration
from a variety of source systems
- from legacy systems like Lotus
Notes and IBM Connections
to now including GSuite (with
Gmail) and Slack to Office 365.
And when it comes to these tools
and the migrations themselves,
AVASOFT’s approach has always
been about understanding business
first to ensure a full-coverage,
like-for-like approach for all
features available on any of these
source systems. After handling
numerous migrations of different
complexities, AVASOFT is now able
to handle a full range of workplace
transformation from simple
