Most people who have parked their car in a garage or parking facility have probably at some point become familiar with the name Parkman. Parkman is a Swedish-owned company that operates several parking facilities and garages around Sweden.
One of Parkman’s top priorities within the company has always been to advocate good service, personal contact and a desire to always be able to offer its customers the latest technology solutions on the market. However, in order to offer accessibility and personal relationships in the most efficient way, an important part for Parkman is to also be able to work everywhere. This was an obstacle for Parkman as their IT environment was locked to the office. They were thus dependent on being physically on site to be able to carry out their work as they otherwise lacked access to their systems.
The solution was to move Parkman’s IT environment to Microsoft 365, where a workplace solution was tailored to Parkman’s needs. And everyone could easily communicate with each other via the Teams tool.
– “As my team has been based both at home and here in the office, we have needed communication,” says Elin Wainwright, “so that everyone can get the same information. Teams has been a very good platform for this. This has meant that customers have felt that we have the same information no matter who they come to, says Ann-Charlotte Sahlin, Customer Service Manager, Parkman i Sverige AB.
Since implementing Microsoft 365, Parkman has seen an increase in productivity, with the ability to work anywhere, anytime and access all information. This means they can now work smarter and get more done. It is also secure and efficient, with all data safely backed up in reliable data centers and the standardized workplace set up in minutes instead of days.
The solution has also contributed to a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly everyday life, where they are not dependent on going into the office but can access their files everywhere from Microsoft applications. In this way, they avoid unnecessary transportation costs and unnecessary environmental emissions.
