OneDrive
OneDrive for Business is Microsoft’s enterprise level cloud storage for every employee in your business to store, share and access their content from anywhere in the world. Unlike SharePoint, OneDrive for Business is secured per employee, giving each employee the control to store and share their content with their colleagues and external contacts.
With OneDrive sync, employees can synchronise their content from OneDrive for Business right to their Desktop bringing a familiar interface for those used to file shares and mapped drives. OnDemand files in OneDrive sync is an intelligent sync, ensuring files are kept online by default but giving your employees the control to synchronise content offline.
What we do
Digital Transformation
Digital transformation products from Microsoft Modern Workplace such as Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI, are commonly referred to as the Microsoft ‘Power Platform’.
Individually, they help businesses to rapidly develop solutions and bring real business value to the end user. Collectively, they easily manipulate, surface, automate and analyse data and can be used with Office 365, other Microsoft services and third-party approved apps.
Microsoft Power Apps is a powerful tool that allows for rapid application development. And it’s what we use to build custom apps for your business needs.
Power Apps gives you the power to build “low-code” custom applications in your business which can be surfaced on mobile, desktop or directly in SharePoint. The extremely intuitive point and click interface is perfect for newcomers and avid efficient app developers.
At Nostra, we love to build unique applications that bring value to your business without the need for complex systems and architecture. We want our customers to have the same passion and enthusiasm for low-code applications that we have, because Power Apps is for everyone. Every business wants to innovate and be more efficient … Power Apps is the place to start.
Streamline repetitive tasks and paperless processes with Microsoft Power Automate—so you can focus your attention where it’s needed most.
Power Automate is the next generation business process and workflow automation product from Microsoft which comes with the added bonus of being predominantly cloud based. Imagine an environment that comes equipped with hundreds of pre-built automated workflow templates to connect Microsoft services and/or third party cloud based services. Power Automate streamlines business processes to lower manual workloads, increase productivity and reduce human error. Similar to the rest of the Power Platform, Power Automate is a low-code automated product which can be triggered on specific events or simply scheduled once off or on a regular occurrence.
At Nostra, we’re all about making life easier for our customers … Power Automate allows us to do just that. Why waste time doing the same tasks over and over again when you can simply automate the process and reduce the stress and hassle? Take for example, a monthly staff survey that needs to be actioned or a workflow to get multiple approvals on a document … all handled in seconds with Power Automate.
Provide interactive visualisations and business intelligence capabilities with an interface simple enough for end users to create their own reports and dashboards.
Power BI is the most intuitive business analytics tool available to your business right now. Power BI Desktop empowers you to build your own dashboards, reports, metrics and KPIs to deliver a highly visual, data-driven experience. Connecting to your data is seamless and extensive, allowing you to connect to various Microsoft services and third party data sources. What’s more, the Power Platform Data Gateway securely unlocks data sources from your on premises architecture to easily analyse, model and make sense of complex data to enable continual improvement within your business.
