Integration of diverse AI functions and adaptable features provides efficient operational solutions
What is our primary use case?
My experience with Sharepoint 2016 Standard involves working on a project developed for the Justice Department of Quebec for about seven or eight months, where I managed change management, integrated a new system, created training materials, and implemented security measures to protect documents.
Everything has been done in this project, and it is my last one.
Before that, I studied for the National Defense of Canada, tasked with providing strategic management consulting to evaluate AI usage for various programs.
As a program manager, I adapt AI to define business case needs and create business transformation laboratories.
My resume shows I use cyber laboratories to develop applications, and my PMO team works to link our efforts with client strategy, ensuring we meet their needs through a systematic methodology.
Based on my experience, I prefer working with experts in my PMO to ensure we produce systems aligned with client context and needs.
As a user of Sharepoint 2016 Standard, I find it more user-friendly and efficient compared to versions from two or three years ago.
The system upgrades have made it easier to interact with, enhancing my comfort with it.
I provide a user's perspective without being a programmer, which allows me to evaluate the system's usability effectively, and I see that it promotes better efficiency.
I began using Sharepoint 2016 Standard about ten years ago and started seeing success in its implementation compared to other systems.
My experts have guided me to adjust my approaches according to their suggestions, improving my experience with Sharepoint 2016 Standard.
The ease of understanding the system contributes to my ongoing positive evaluation of it.
Currently, I am developing a business transformation expert system that leverages Sharepoint 2016 Standard effectively.
Throughout this process, I've been testing AI capabilities to handle data processing and perform analyses focused on complex organizational transformation programmers.
By evaluating risks and impacts between potential business partners using AI, I create what I call gap assessments and what-why reports that clarify relationships between risks and business interests.
My system generates interactive dashboards tailored to solving business challenges based on existing databases and best practices, positioning it as a valuable tool for navigating complex situations.
What is most valuable?
In my opinion, Sharepoint 2016 Standard has valuable features; many clients believe they need AI integration in their systems, but often find gaps during implementation that require extensive programming to adapt the software to their context.
When I use a business case where all needs and strategies are defined, it's easier to involve AI experts, such as those specializing in medical algorithms to manage diagnostics.
These experts work directly on applications like Sharepoint 2016 Standard to effectively integrate AI, which saves time and increases organizational efficiency.
The document management capabilities of Sharepoint 2016 Standard improve efficiency because I was engaged by IBM to develop a quality management system for their microelectronic products in the early 2000s.
While working there, I developed the Guidewire Policy Center approach for financial institutions to create direct links between applications and policy objectives.
By upgrading efficiency with such systems in my cyber laboratories, I ensure that teams have clear objectives and accountability for results.
The application of AI has been directly linked to our goals, producing excellent dashboards, and I have continuously integrated AI in various contexts with successful outcomes.
My affinity for Sharepoint 2016 Standard stems from its flexibility and adaptability, which I consistently experience as a significant reason for its success in my projects.
This adaptability is key in achieving positive results.
What needs improvement?
From a client's perspective, I encounter several challenges when implementing new systems, and in my last role, they faced significant issues with their previous software.
After assessing their situation, it was clear that continuing on their current path would lead to excessive costs.
Recognizing that Sharepoint 2016 Standard could fulfill their needs efficiently, I engaged my team, and after seven months, we had a fully operational system in place.
As a project manager, I design what I need from AI within Sharepoint 2016 Standard, knowing I always get good results.
While the technical details may not be my forte, I have a network of strong experts working alongside me, making sure our processes succeed according to the plans I put in place.
