Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the partner for a professional services firm that helps customers work with Microsoft technology that revolves around productivity and tools like Office 365. We’re also working with customers implementing their ERP systems.

What challenge were you trying to address with GRSP Tech?

When working with our customers, we split it into the process and implementation/configuration work. Some of the business processes require specific features that aren’t available as part of the initial Microsoft build. We’d use extensions of Microsoft and cloud solutions and APIs to create traditional, custom add-ons and extensions to perform solutions. At the time, this required a lot of technical work from our side. We needed help from other companies to complete the task.

What was the scope of their involvement?

GRSP Tech completed a lot of the work. A lot of the technical work included Power BI, building data models, and connecting data sources. There are also specific extensions to products like SharePoint and Project Online. We used some of those to extend our project management offerings and solutions, while also creating additional services and features to the business application.

A lot of business cases involve customers wanting a specific intake process with their own external system. Those systems integrate with SharePoint. We need to create the API service layers to build those connections and execute them.
