Real live business processes in SharePoint and Microsoft 365 need to create documents automatically. But what are the technical options you have when it comes to document automation with Microsoft 365, Teams, the Power Platform or Dynamics 365? We discuss these options, as well as pros and cons and best practices in our video. After watching the online demo, you will know how to get the job done in minutes!
What are the challenges of document automation?
Documents are created daily in every organization, company-wide. Creating them manually using copy/paste takes an incredible amount of time and nerves and is a major source of errors.
Using VBA, mail merge or macros might reduce the number of potential errors and the intensity of manual work, but you still will not achieve complete process automation. Document generation will remain a nine to five job.
The seemingly most powerful approach companies follow, is to rely on all-in-one document generation, for example from their ERP or CRM system. This enables you to create documents around the clock but takes away your flexibility and individuality. Programming skills will be required for every little change.
The optimal solution would be to combine the intuitive and individual adaptation of documents by business users with flexible and powerful integration into any ERP, CRM or other system.
