Frequently asked questions

What kinds of processes can be automated with OfficeLabs?
We automate business-critical workflows such as approvals, onboarding, document generation, HR requests, compliance logging, and other routine activities across departments like HR, finance, legal, and IT.
Do you only use Microsoft Power Automate?
Power Automate is our core platform, but we also use SharePoint, Teams, Dynamics, and third-party APIs for integration. If you're already using a different automation tool, we assess whether it can be optimised or integrated.
How do we know where to start with automation?
We run structured discovery workshops to understand your current processes, pain points, and strategic goals. From there, we identify high-impact opportunities and prioritise automation candidates.
Will our staff need technical training to maintain automated flows?
No. We design automations to be accessible for business users where possible, and we provide training and handover materials. You can also use our IMaaS subscription for ongoing support and improvement.
Can you connect automation to our legacy or on-premise systems?
Yes — we use connectors, APIs, middleware, or scripting (where needed) to integrate legacy systems. We assess what's possible within your environment and security posture.
What’s the difference between automation and AI?
Automation follows defined rules and logic to trigger actions. AI makes predictions, summarises, classifies, or learns from data. The two often work together — for example, AI reading a document, and automation routing it.
How do you ensure automations remain secure and compliant?
We build automation with security, auditability, and data loss prevention in mind. We align with your governance policies, including roles, access, version control, and approval flows.
