Challenge

Looking for a modern solution to replace previous Microsoft SharePoint 2013 on-premises solution 

Keeping all the digital collaboration and project spaces

New cloud-capable provisioning solution required for the provision of digital collaboration spaces

Solution

M365 platform with focus on Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online 

Using M365 as technical platform with Azure and standardised provisioning procedures (PnP) 

Implementation of governance at business level with novaWorxx – a scalable solution for individual structuring and management of collaboration based on M365

Benefit

The use of novaWorxx and its customisable options avoid the complex and expensive development of a new provisioning solution

Until recently, Union Investment used Microsoft SharePoint 2013 in an on-premises installation for its digital collaboration. This made it technically feasible to reproduce their complex company’s structures in virtual collaboration and project rooms. The virtual rooms were generated with a provisioning solution developed

in-house on the SharePoint 2013 platform. For the future, Union Investment was aiming for a modern cloud solution. The challenge: the previous solution had not been built for the M365 cloud world and thus an experienced partner was required for the new development. 

novaWorxx replaces development effort

The prospect of quickly deploying a ready-made and cloud-based solution led Union Investment to ­novaCapta. The combination of Azure with M365, MS Teams, and SharePoint Online offered the most ­convincing ­solution. In addition, no new

provisioning solution for ­virtual collaboration and project spaces was ­needed: with ­novaWorxx, novaCapta provided a tool that was both highly adaptable to their requirements and already tried and tested.

One-stop solution: novaWorxx

novaWorxx is a solution that combines managed room provisioning, governance, and lifecycle management for teams, SharePoint sites, planner and O365 groups in a single tool. First of all, Union Investment and ­novaCapta created customised room templates to set up new digital collaboration and project spaces. In contrast to the on-premises world, it was now no longer sufficient to provide templates for SharePoint only. Therefore, templates from novaWorxx included multiple teams sites and additional SharePoint sites. In the future, the employees of Union Investment will pass a step by step self-­service to create the collaboration rooms they need. 
 

novaWorxx comes into play directly where the daily ­collaboration happens – in MS Teams. For Union Investment, the authorisation assignment and logging were linked to their own Union Access Management System. All collaboration rooms were adjusted to Union Investment’s corporate design. They were connected to a shared landing page and to a dashboard integrated in MS Teams. The navigation was enhanced with additional filter and search functions. Last but not least, a fully integrated lifecycle management was established which lets Union Investment take control of all future rooms.

A modern workplace for Union Investment

Union Investment’s proven structures and processes could be transferred seamlessly into the new cloud environment. The tools, self-service functions, and a coherent governance on business level ensure that the rules are transparent and easily understandable for all employees. On top of that, the new workplace solution reduces the workload of the IT department – a win-win for everyone.
