Single Point of Entry

Cloud platforms, with all of their interconnected tools and functions, are perceived by some as overwhelming.  Sure change is hard, yet it meets considerable resistance when the worker must deal with too many factors, such as:
  • their anxiety related to computing
  • having too many choices
Both of these, along with many others not mentioned, make it too easy to revert back to comfortable habits.  This is the reason that so many organizations stop at email and file management on their transformation journey.  One solution to be considered is allowing the workers to get comfortable with a single point of entry (SPoE).  That is a single application that can serve as the launching pad for all digital tools.  
A well executed SPoE provides value for the office and remote workers alike.  Imagine that you had just one business application, a single place that you would travel to and jump in to meaningful digital tools.  Sound familiar?  Sure, for those of you using stationary computers this is exactly the same as your desktop filled with shortcuts.  The only difference is that you have a modern application capable of seamlessly spanning across devices, operating systems, and connection types.
Value
  • increased immediate and sustained adoption rates leading to higher productivity as a result of the solutions deployed
  • single vehicle for synchronous and asynchronous communications driving higher margins as a result of increased awareness
  • faster on-boarding of employees or team members to new teams getting folks up to speed faster resulting in less re-work due to lack of understanding
Typical use
  • simplify deployment of cloud tools
  • deployments requiring single applications for user base
  • high velocity change organizations interested in a consistent vehicle to introduce new items to a broad community of practitioners
