Correspondence Management System

Sector/s: Government
Technologies Used: Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams
Key Services: Data Management & Optimisation

Our client’s existing manual process to manage correspondence requests via email led to delays, errors, and a lack of automation. The Correspondence Management System was developed using Microsoft Power Platform, incorporating Power Apps and Power Automate integrating deeply with Microsoft SharePoint and Teams to centralise daily workflows. It automated approval processes, provided real-time status updates, and ensured accurate tracking of all correspondence.

Problem

Our client, a Public Sector Organisation relied on manual handling of correspondence requests, involving extensive email exchanges and manual tracking leading to:

  • Error-Prone Systems: Manual tracking led to frequent errors and inconsistencies in data, causing delays.

  • Lack of Automation: The absence of automated workflows meant that approvals were often missed, as the process lacked the agility needed for timely responses.

  • Inconsistent Workload Management: The manual process made it difficult to manage workloads effectively, leading to uneven distribution of tasks.

These challenges highlighted the need for a more efficient, accurate, and automated solution to manage correspondence workflows effectively.

Solution

The Correspondence Management System transformed the organisation’s workflow with the following key outcomes:

  • The new system significantly reduced the time required to process and approve correspondence requests. Tasks that previously took hours were completed in minutes.

  • Automated workflows and centralised information storage reduced errors and inconsistencies, ensuring that all correspondence was accurately tracked and managed.

  • Enhanced transparency by providing visibility on the status of each request.

  • The deep integration with Microsoft Teams and the intuitive interface of the Power App encouraged user adoption and improved productivity.

The solution received positive feedback from the users in terms of usability and reliability, noting the significant improvements in their daily operations.
