New members in the EasyLife 365 Family

In 2023, we didn't just stop at one success with our certified collaboration tool. We expanded our EasyLife 365 solutions suite with not one, but two new products:

EasyMeet 365 and the beta version of EasyLife 365 Mail. But that's not all - we also bolstered our team by hiring professionals skilled in development, partner management, and design, ensuring a diverse range of expertise. And the cherry on top? We started the ISO certification journey for our company, guaranteeing an elevated standard of trust and security for our valued customers.

EasyLife 365 is a Microsoft 365 Certified app!

In June 2022, EasyLife 365 Collaboration became a Microsoft 365 Certified app. We are happy and proud to have achieved this certification for EasyLife 365! Ultimately it should be a no-brainer for you, our valued customers and partners, to choose EasyLife 365.

Founding of EasyLife 365 AG

In August 2021, we founded EasyLife 365 AG in Switzerland, a daughter company of Experts Inside AG. The aim of this company is to focus on this beautiful product and its functionality. This gave us another Boost and we hired the first employees to fully work on the product and further develop it to the moon. In the same year, we won the Microsoft Swiss Partner of the Year Award 2021 for EasyLife 365 Collaboration.

Now let’s go to the moon

We started from scratch, MVP Patrick Lamber, with his brilliant ideas, set the fundamentals of the architecture, while MVP Samuel Zuercher brought up lots of ideas and best practices he gathered from decades of experience and know-how with SharePoint collaboration. Emanuele Bartolesi and Thomas Torggler completed the core product Team that was on fire, building the best governance tool for the Microsoft 365 and Azure environments. Thanks to massive success, we were able to found EasyLife 365 AG within one year. This new company is where the magic will lead into a bright future.

Productive MVP

We quickly realized that the provisioning engine itself is not enough, so we took Microsoft standard tools and brought them together to a frontend, made by MS Forms, The Engine, and Power Automate to bring the asset into its final form. The pain was there, so our customers started using this in production already. We were still unhappy as it did not feel like a product. It felt like a quick-fix solution based on existing workloads. So, in December 2019, we decided to go all in, we put together a core team and they all started to work on the product.

First prototype

Of course, we started right away and created the first version of our Teams Creation bot. Originally, we wanted to work with bots showing rich cards on which you can choose your needs. After seeing that this approach was not working as we intended, we took the bot and turned it into a provisioning engine, leading us to the next step.

First Idea

The Idea is the simplest part of all. It is a glimpse while brushing your teeth or a snap while looking down a high mountain you just climbed. It is this little “THIS IS IT” that arises from your gut feeling and explodes into your brain. But now, what? In our case, it was an idea coming out of lots of experience: Let’s build a tool that helps us to keep a clear order in our collaboration assets.
