On Hallowe’en, Kop Consultancy hosted a Smartsheet showcase session at Santander Work Café in Jersey.  Guest speakers were Cheetah Transformation, award winning Smartsheet Platinum Partner.

Kop MD, Mike Thorpe said “I am delighted to welcome Cheetah Transformation to the Jersey marketplace; their experience with Smartsheet has certainly strengthened Smartsheet’s presence on the island.”

Cheetah Transformation introduced Smartsheet, the leading collaborative workflow management platform, and evidenced how it is used across multiple industries to make organisations function more effectively and efficiently. From a range of clients, they shared life changing outcomes that users have experienced, such as:

• Delivering creative campaigns in 4 weeks instead of 6
• Email traffic reduction of 75%, by moving work into Smartsheet 
• Time saving of 24 days/year by automating sending & following up of meeting actions
• Increased productivity of employees leading to cutting back on temporary contractors

A demonstration of Smartsheet and Smartsheet Control Center generated much interest and lead into a lively discussion.  Key topics that generated much interest were:

• Moving data between platforms;
• Integration with NAVOne, ViewPoint, Mosaic & Elite;
• Creation of standardised template sets that enable organisations to scale up quickly to meet demand, in the most efficient way.

Rob Eberstein, Cheetah Transformation MD, commenting on the event said “It has been great to meet so many people focussed on improving how their business operates, and the experience their customers have. We are excited about the opportunity to help Jersey companies work more efficiently. ”

Yes, I think we all know that 2020 was a tough year for everybody and many businesses have suffered but the real casualties are those who have lost loved ones or are still suffering from this awful illness.
So whilst we at Kop wish everyone a Happy New Year let’s hope we can kick this pandemic into touch which means tough decisions on all fronts, particularly when it comes to self isolation at times, working from home and sticking to the guidelines that have been set.
With that said, best wishes to all our customers, partners and friends across the globe.
