Expert analysis and thought leadership on industry trends and developments
The modern workplace isn’t about adding more tools, it’s about making the ones you already have work together. As organizations expand across ERP and collaboration platforms, fragmented data and disconnected workflows are slowing decisions and increasing risk. The next phase is orchestration: integration as a strategy, governance as a guardrail, and AI as the connective tissue that turns data into decisions. This blog explores how unifying Microsoft 365, ERP systems like NetSuite, and governance tools such as ProvisionPoint creates a cohesive, AI-ready workspace. Through real use cases, SnapOn Software show how organizations can replace silos with seamless, governed workflows, unlocking higher productivity, decision velocity, and trust in their data.
Most organizations collect feedback easily, but struggle to act on it. Responses often get buried in spreadsheets or inboxes, leaving valuable insights unseen and unresolved. Public Forms by SnapOn Software changes that by making feedback part of an active workflow inside Microsoft 365. Submissions go directly into SharePoint Lists, where Power Automate can trigger alerts, assign tasks, or escalate issues in real time. Whether it’s employee surveys, customer complaints, or anonymous reports, feedback is instantly routed to the right team, so nothing slips through the cracks. With Public Forms, feedback becomes more than data—it becomes action, accountability, and trust.
Many organizations migrating to Microsoft 365 overlook a critical piece: their forms. Legacy tools like InfoPath, Excel sheets, and PDFs don’t migrate cleanly, forcing teams to rebuild processes manually and slowing down operations. Public Forms by SnapOn Software bridges this gap with a no-code, modern alternative that works seamlessly inside SharePoint. It replaces outdated forms with mobile-friendly, automated workflows that handle approvals, signatures, and external submissions, all stored securely in your Microsoft 365 environment. Fast to deploy and simple to maintain, Public Forms helps teams modernize without the cost or complexity of custom development, keeping your migration on time, on budget, and built for the future.
Modern hiring tools collect resumes, but often leave HR juggling emails, PDFs, and spreadsheets. Public Forms by SnapOn Software fixes that by unifying every step of hiring and onboarding inside Microsoft 365. From job applications to offer acceptance and IT setup, everything happens securely in SharePoint and Teams: automated, trackable, and seamless. No more lost resumes or manual follow-ups. Just faster hiring, smoother collaboration, and a professional candidate experience powered by the tools you already use.
Many organizations rely on emailed PDFs, Microsoft Forms, or complex Power Apps to collect external data; methods that are risky, inefficient, and non-compliant.

This modern approach reduces costs, strengthens compliance, and streamlines processes across sectors like government, HR, and healthcare.
