The rollout of HR for Dynamics is much faster than with other vendors

Hubdrive HR runs entirely on the Microsoft Power Platform, which makes it much faster to roll out than traditional HR solutions. Most of the typical rollout tasks are already completed during the platform rollout, and the required infrastructure is already in place. That’s why the rollout of HR for Dynamics is especially fast and easy even in large companies. The main reasons for the faster rollout are:

• Employees handle their HR tasks in Microsoft apps like Teams, Outlook, Copilot or OneDrive that they already know. There’s hardly any need for training or onboarding.
• No extra systems or apps from an HR vendor or even integrations are needed. For example, Hubdrive doesn’t need its own mobile app because it’s fully embedded in the Microsoft Power Platform app.
• You can customize forms, workflows, dashboards and reports using Microsoft Power Apps and Power Automate – just like with other Microsoft Power Platform solutions. There’s hardly any extra training needed.
• HR reports are created using familiar Microsoft products like Power BI and Fabric. Hubdrive’s data is also based on Microsoft Dataverse. There’s no need for extra data storage.
• You get instant access to AI-powered tools (Power Virtual Agents, Copilot) for automation and smart process support.
• This easy access to AI-powered tools makes it possible to launch custom automation processes efficiently – even in complex corporate structures and matrix organizations – and reduce admin work even more.

All in all, HR for Dynamics together with the Microsoft Power Platform enables a much faster rollout than any other HR management solution – while offering more comfort for employees. The rollout can be up to 94% faster.
