In today's fast-paced business landscape, staying ahead of the competition requires efficient and effective solutions. According to Microsoft’s Work Trend Index, nearly 70% of employee report that they don’t have sufficient time in the day to focus on “work”, with more time being spent Communicating than Creating.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is designed, with Microsoft’s cloud trust platform at its core, to allow for employees to both be more productive, reduce the time spent searching for information, performing mundane tasks, and other low-value activities.

Microsoft has announced SharePoint 2010 workflows will be retired starting August 1, 2020. This applies to all environments, including Government Community Cloud (GCC) High and Department of Defense. If you’re using SharePoint 2010 workflows, Microsoft recommends migrating to Power Automate or other supported solutions.

More about Microsoft's decision can be read here.

SharePoint Workflow Modernization Offer Details

KiZAN will work with your organization to conduct a SharePoint Online Modernization Scan to inventory all SharePoint 2010 and 2013 style workflows within your tenant. Reviewing the results of this scan, KiZAN will develop targeted recommendations for your organization regarding this transition.

These recommendations will include how many workflows will be affected and categories that they can be associated with (such as out of the box workflows, customized workflows, and highly customized business processes), the sites they will affect, and the recommended migration path for each category. KiZAN will also provide power-user Power Automate training for existing workflow designer “Power Users” inside of your organization (provided remotely via Teams) to get your users started on this transition.
