1 Our on-premises Exchange server was at its End of Life. Since the company operated from 20 locations, I took the initiative to lead the company on transitioning from on-premise Microsoft Exchange 2013 to cloud-based Microsoft Office 365. By shifting the company workflow to Teams and SharePoint, staff could work with increased efficiency and always have access to up-to-date files, saving both time and money.

2 The day-to-day Excel files used by the company were outdated and no longer user-friendly, as they prompted the same information multiple times within a single Excel file. I improved our regular user reports and condensed others to create a more accessible system. By creating a method for information to feed from tables to a dashboard, the sheets could be formatted and protected, which reduced the amount of work required to update and maintain the files and reduced user error.
