Transforming Approval Processes: Innovative Solutions for Conference Management

Federal Client
EXPERTISE

The Challenge

For one of our federal clients, federal experts were increasingly being asked to travel to meet with industry and state and local government partners across the country. Agency leadership wanted better visibility and a centralized management and approval process across the division for all employee travel, training, and conference attendance.

The Partnership

Partner Forces, a long-time partner with this client, recommended a technical solution, using existing software, to streamline requests and decision-making. We focused on user experience in our approach to gather requirements, leveraging key stakeholder experiences and outcomes to build our development roadmap.

Using the Microsoft Power Platform (PowerApps, PowerAutomate, and PowerBI), we developed a tool to manage all approvals for speaking engagements, training, conference, and travel approvals. With this tool, our client can more easily identify conferences, access application timelines, and submit attendance requests into a centrally located record-keeping database. Most importantly, the leadership team uses the tool to review and approve travel requests, leveraging dashboard views to analyze information and deconflict requests as needed.

The Impact

Partner Forces streamlined the process for more than 800 employees to track more than 200 travel events annually. For our federal clients, using the tool we developed resulted in:

Maximized Resources
  • Avoided the need for new technology investments.
  • Created a robust back–end for data and records management. 
  • Streamlined processes for managing conference attendance and travel requests. 
  • Reduced time and effort required for travel approval.
Improved User Experience 
  • Eliminated reliance on emails and spreadsheets.
  • Enabled digestible data analytics and dynamic reporting capabilities with Power BI dashboards. 
  • Enhanced communication and eliminated confusion around the multi-stage conference process.
  • Increased visibility of application timelines, conference submission requests, and attendance.
