Challenges on the
stairway to success
AVASOFT was often challenged by
comparatively larger competitors
but they have been consistently
able to stay ahead, especially in
the migration and enterprise
collaboration space. Constant
feedback from their close
relationships with clients has
helped them fine-tune the
product even further and push
them into truly transforming the
space of enterprise collaboration
and increasing adoption rates
dramatically. In fact, they’ve now
evolved as the only available tool in
the market that can migrate IBM, G
Suite (including Gmail), and Slack
to Office 365, providing a seamless,
like-for-like experience that enables
clients to start being productive from
day one.
Migration as a product involves
dealing with constant feature
changes and restructuring happening
on both the source and target sides.
This requires continual adaptation
to the product as well as the product
team that is kept up-to-date on these
changes and best practices. With
that methodology in mind, AVASOFT
has designed their products with
modularity as top-of-mind and this
has helped in providing support
to their customers for simple to
complex migration scenarios,
creating reusable customizations
based on recurring needs, and
automating as much of the process
as possible all while meeting project
timelines aggressively.

Achieving more with
Microsoft Teams
With Microsoft Teams, AVASOFT saw
another venue to expand modern
workplace offerings, now directly
focused on improving employee
collaboration and truly bringing
people and all of the content and
apps they work on in one centralized
hub. From a digital transformation
standpoint, AVASOFT recognized that
understanding Microsoft Teams and
its many avenues for customization
would be critical to drive Teams
adoption in organizations. Whether
it was a migration of an existing
collaboration platform like Slack
or just the need for a Teams
collaboration and governance
strategy, AVASOFT created
numerous custom apps and reusable
components to specifically make a
transition to Teams quick and more
importantly, highly usable.
Teams strategy as a central focus of
the modern workplace really gave
way to a full process for Microsoft
Teams implementations. Beginning
with meetings with the various
stakeholders of existing business
process and the continued emphasis
in learning how various teams
work, AVASOFT teams create a
detailed high-level overview of these
processes, ensuring coverage from
the perspectives of all of the roles
involved. With these processes in
mind, solutions utilizing components
like the SharePoint Framework
(SPFx), adaptive cards, the Microsoft
Bot Framework are proposed to
integrate things like custom incident
management dashboards into
Teams tabs, help manage and govern
Teams with automated archival bots,
as well as build vertical-specific
conversational bots for shipment and
delivery tracking.
Value delivered brings
continued success
“Proving our claims have really
brought numerous large European
clients in addition to huge American
enterprises into our client ecosystem.
Many of these companies had a large
camp of IBM-lovers and so when
change leaders wanted to move to
Office 365 for the clear enterprise
benefits, they were worried about user
adoption and feature matching. This is
where our platform-centric approach
combined with a clear agile change
management strategy gave them the
ability to replicate the exact features
in Office 365 and allowed them to
have a full range of control over the
environment from a data governance
perspective while improving employee
productivity,” says RK.
AVASOFT focuses on creating
innovative and disruptive
solutions that accelerate the digital
transformation of their clients
regardless of the environment
they are in. The firm is driven by
a philosophy centered on building
reusable frameworks that have
resulted in products and solutions
capable of consistently meeting
rapid go-to-market times of clients
and keeping the cost of delivery
the lowest in the market. Applying
its decade of experience with a
variety of client business models and
environments, AVASOFT pushes itself
to go the extra mile while leveraging
the latest technologies to provide
business transformative solutions
for cloud, collaboration, mobility and
data science powered by automation
and AI.
