London innovation scale-up Wazoku brings innovation to the enterprise with full Teams integration
London innovation scale-up Wazoku has announced a full integration with collaboration platform Microsoft Teams, allowing users to access Wazoku from anywhere within Teams.
The personal app makes everything within the platform easily accessible. Utilizing Single Sign On (SSO), this integration brings users into the platform without having to sign into a separate system, allowing employees to share and contribute ideas directly from Microsoft Teams.
The integration also includes a platform bot that uses push notifications to keep users immediately updated and engaged with content and progress of their ideas. Challenge Managers and Admins are also now able to pin Challenges to specific channels when targeting specific groups of employees. This is the latest upgrade to Wazoku’s product that gives employees a true voice and is designed to put the tools for idea management front and centre to their work, every day.
Microsoft Teams has around 280 million monthly active users, and for them to get the most from Wazoku, it is vital they can access it easily and without any fuss.
Sokipirim Membere-Otaji, Product Manager, Wazoku: “The world has never been in greater need of new ideas and more innovative approaches to address the challenges we face, and platforms like ours are powering that. Bringing Wazoku directly into Teams means users can contribute or discuss ideas without leaving Teams, making the whole process much easier and more effective.”
The enhanced integration is available directly from the Microsoft Teams app store.
Rosemarie Diegnan, Chief Product & Customer Officer, Wazoku: “Global enterprise workers can now manage their innovation activity without leaving Teams, making life significantly easier. It puts innovation at the core of the enterprise and means employees can be more focused than they have ever been on innovation.”
Wazoku’s Innovation Operating System combines the Wazoku Platform and Crowd and provides sustainable and
scalable innovation. It is used by organisations including Enel, HSBC, NASA, and AstraZeneca.
