Challenges We Faced
A leading renewable energy provider specializing in utility-scale renewable energy projects faced operational inefficiencies due to outdated task management and data handling processes. Key challenges included:
- Inefficient Task Management: Difficulty in distinguishing recurring and one-time tasks resulted in delays and inconsistencies in compliance tracking and execution.
- Lack of Automated Notifications: Missed deadlines due to the absence of timely alerts impacted project timelines and efficiency.
- Data Integration Issues: Inability to consolidate data from Microsoft Lists into Dataverse restricted data accessibility and decision-making.
- Fragmented Reporting: Limited centralized reporting made it hard to monitor progress, track performance metrics, and derive actionable insights.
- Accountability Gaps: Multi-owner tasks lacked tracking mechanisms, reducing team productivity and collaboration.
