Microsoft Cloud provides excellent collaboration tools, such as Teams, Planner and SharePoint. But even the best tools are only helpful when used correctly.
Reach your company goals faster by tailoring your Microsoft applications to fit the way you work internally. In other words, you can transfer your established structures and processes into your modern workplace: with novaWorxx
novaWorxx
Our solution for structuring and managing Microsoft 365 to suit your requirements
The novaCapta solution for governance & lifecycle management in M365
Overview
How does novaWorxx help you with structuring and managing M365?
novaWorxx provides easy, straightforward support as you add new rules and guidelines to your governance framework, creating the foundation for long-term collaboration in your cloud.
Benefits of novaWorxx
Easy to configure
novaWorxx is highly configurable even without programming knowledge, making it suitable for complex company structures
Freely scalable solution
novaWorxx grows with your requirements and will remain useful in the long term. It is therefore the ideal tool for structuring and managing Microsoft 365 how you want
Flexible interfaces
Provisioning functions are often required in applications that you have developed yourself. You can seamlessly integrate novaWorxx into your own applications using API or REST services
Keep control, save costs
You specify the rules for your information architecture. Taking control at the beginning means you can avoid time-consuming clean-ups later on, and self-service functions help take the pressure off your IT staff
Microsoft Teams: lifting governance to the business level
A company is a constantly changing organism comprising many different areas and tasks. In very large companies, individual areas often act independently. And even in mid-size and smaller companies, divisions and departments can be quite different from one another. Production staff work differently from those in Sales, for instance. That’s why the necessary templates, stipulations and processes also vary. A set of standard templates or a long list of all sites will not suffice here. novaWorxx not only creates order in the provisioning and management of a modern workplace, but also continually takes into account the various requirements from different areas, dynamically and flexibly.
Overview of functions
Dashboard to display sites
The dashboard gives you an ideal overview. On the Sites dashboard, you can view, filter or search specifically for any site. From here you can also request new sites. You can make things more flexible and transparent by creating several dashboards, such as for different task areas or parts of the organization.
Full integration with Microsoft Teams
Teams is becoming a more important user interface than SharePoint, so the dashboard is fully integrated with Teams. It can be added to any channel as a new tab. Of course you can always link from it to other teams.
Request approval process (self service)
New sites are created step by step. novaWorxx also has an interface with Microsoft Flow, so you can implement custom workflows quickly and without needing to programme anything. Azure Logic Apps and Azure Functions can also be integrated like that.
Lifecycle management
Lifecycle management for a site or a team is an important element when it comes to adjusting and monitoring information and data in the company.
novaWorxx includes lifecycle management templates, which you can adapt or create from scratch.
Provisioning Office 365 templates
The novaCapta Provisioning Engine is a fundamental component of novaWorxx. It was designed especially for Microsoft cloud requirements and has very flexible configuration options. Unlike in the on-premises world, in the cloud you must do more than simply provide SharePoint templates. For instance, a template can contain two Teams sites and an additional SharePoint site. novaWorxx provisions Teams, SharePoint sites, Planner and Office 365 groups. The Provisioning Engine takes into account Microsoft’s standard templating functions, so you can access a PnP template, for example, or integrate a Teams template. Rather than being an alternative approach to the Microsoft functions, our provisioning enhances them where necessary.
Configuration centre
The whole administration and configuration takes place in the provisioning centre, although the focus is mainly on managing the templates. Wherever possible, novaWorxx uses Microsoft PnP – which is more or less the standard – for the templates. However, it also expands and supplements PnP with additional options, starting where PnP leaves off. For instance, with a novaWorxx template for Teams, you can set the channels, private channels, tabs, plans, predefined lists, attributes and documents all in one.
Aspects to keep in mind
How do you start working with novaWorxx?
The installation and set-up process is mostly automated. To get things running smoothly we recommend keeping the following points in mind.
The exact time depends on various factors, with the company’s size and organizational complexity certainly being the most important, alongside your own level of experience. For instance, the initial time investment is higher for companies with many independent sub-divisions than for those which are more homogeneous.
Operate it yourself or Software-as-a-Service?
There are two ways to operate novaWorxx:
