Postignite učinkovitost kroz implementaciju document management sustava i automatizaciju poslovanja.
Prijavite se na webinar i otkrijte kako postići maksimalnu produktivnost zaposlenika i povećanje profitabilnosti kompanije.
Maštate o organizaciji cjelokupnog poslovanja bez ijednog papira? Iako je digitalizacija sljedeći korak na poslovnom putu mnogih tvrtki, ona sama po sebi nije dovoljna. Tranzicija iz analognog u digitalni svijet tek je prvi korak prema postizanju maksimalne optimizacije i automatizacije procesa.
Jeste li znali da radnici čiji je osnovni kapital znanje (knowledge workers) u prosjeku troše 41 posto radnog vremena na aktivnosti u kojima ne koriste svoje primarne vještine? To naglašava činjenicu da digitalizacija sama po sebi nije dovoljna.
U ovom webinaru istražit ćemo kako doći od paper-based poslovanja do poslovanja bez papira i potpune digitalne poslovne automatizacije koristeći strojno učenje (ML, Machine Learning) i umjetnu inteligenciju (AI – Artificial Intelligence). Automatizacijom poslovanja postiže se maksimalna učinkovitost zaposlenika, bolje upravljanje dokumentima, poboljšana sigurnost i bolja suradnja između timova i odjela, a konačno i smanjenje troškova i povećanje profitabilnosti.
Demonstrirat ćemo praktične mogućnosti koje nam pruža tehnologija kroz perspektivu jednog od vodećih pružatelja rješenja za upravljanje informacijama i dokumentima – M-Files.

Your business exists to serve your customers, right? So you need to make sure you are doing all you can to keep the customer happy and satisfied with the solution you provide them with. That’s the job of customer success.
What is Customer Success?
When software products turned to the subscription model, it gave software companies a more predictable revenue, which they can use to further improve their products. However, customers are now able to cancel subscription at any point, which prompted companies to ensure their customers get the best value from using their product and the best customer experience they can.
That’s why customer success (CS) is imperative in today’s business. Great CS practices lead to satisfied customers who believe in the provided solution that helps them achieve their business goals.
On the other hand, customer success creates partnerships, growth opportunities for the company and customer advocates.
Anticipate customer needs and fulfil them through your solution
M-Files defines their customer success practices with a sentence
We succeed together by forging deep, trusted relationships with customers while also exploring new ways to optimize their document management process.
Customer success is the actions a company does to anticipate customers’ needs and fulfil them through their solutions and products.
Customer success should result in customers wanting to continue using the service or product a company provides in the long term.
How we implement customer success practices in Unitfly
Our slogan is People, Business, Technology and Innovation – we take pride in being a people-centric company. That means that our main focus is our people, our teammates, as well as our customers.
First and foremost, customer success is about defining the value of the solution we provide together with the customer – what the customer’s challenges are, how we can help them overcome them and improve their business using our solution.
Every method we use to deliver the best value we can to our customers is about communication – understanding the needs, communicating the value and managing the expectations.
Essentially, we consider ourselves long-term advisors who want to help our customers improve their business gradually and completely.
Here are the main elements of our customer success practices that drive value:
Customer account profile
Joint success plan
Regular check-ins
Executive business review (EBR)
Surveys
1. Customer account profile
Jay Baer, the president of Convince and Convert, an online customer service and digital marketing consultancy said: “The more you know about your customers, the more you can provide to them information that is increasingly useful, relevant and persuasive.”.
The first thing our consultants do is create a customer account profile, to get the complete picture of customer’s needs and wants. It is a document that is the ground for building a successful implementation strategy, as well as a means to track the customer’s progress throughout the project.
It is important to periodically write down information about the customer’s situation and expectations of the project. It’s easy to lose direction when you’re not reviewing the needs and benefits the client expects. Using the customer account profile you can evaluate the success of the project, and make sure to deliver the value your customer anticipates.
2. Joint success plan
In order for the customer to be satisfied with the solution, the project has to be successful.
First we need to, together with the customer, identify what “success” is for them and how we can achieve that.
Joint success plan is a document, written in collaboration with the customer, that lays out their current situation, their challenges and pain points, identifies their business objectives and action plans of how we can help them get there. All in all, joint success plan details the path toward achieving business outcomes that is a reference point for both your customer and for you.
3. Regular check-ins
Every check-in you do with your customer should be intentional and deliver value to you and to them. It is not a matter of asking how everything is going, but evaluating the progress and working toward the goals and expectations of the client.
Regularly asking for feedback during implementations will ensure that the solution is tailored to their wants and finished on time.
Find out if the adoption of the solution is going well, if there are some concerns regarding the solution, discuss the progress and potential issues. It’s better to anticipate the problem than to react retroactively.
4. Executive business review
Executive business review (EBR) is a formal meeting we conduct with our customers quarterly. The primary goal of EBRs is to create a space for the customer to communicate their concerns, expectations and ideas.
Our job is to present progress, the value the solution brings, and plan the next steps and discuss what else we can do to improve their business. That’s a great way to remind them of the improvements the solution brings.
Communicate the purpose of the meeting and the prerequisites, and schedule the meeting well ahead.
5. Surveys
In order to deliver great customer service, we must evaluate it regularly. Surveys are a great way to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of our approach, and to recognize what needs to be improved.
After each project, we send the surveys to the customer and adopters, analyze the results and act accordingly.
Regular communication is key
The bottom line?
Your solution and approach to customers must deliver value to their business.
The processes introduced above give you the technique to understand your customers better, to listen and learn about their needs and goals. The insights you get from these practices will give you the means to anticipate customers’ requests and provide the solution they need.
By following customer success practices at your company and supporting your clients throughout your collaboration, you ensure they become loyal advocates and spread the word about your brand.
Challenges and innovations in the IT world on Advanced Technology Days
Advanced Technology Days was held in Zagreb for the 17th time! The conference has become a traditional gathering of IT enthusiasts in the SEE region with an emphasis on new technologies and innovations in the field. This year Unitfly had two presenters: our COO talked about Azure Synapse Analytics, an Azure platform that combines enterprise data warehouse and big data analytics to ensure centralized management of data lakes and warehouses. Seemingly opposite, our Software Engineer Dino Grgic presented the challenges of OCR, which you can read here.

We will now get in-depth into Azure Synapse Analytics.
Bulking up with Azure Synapse Analytics
Azure Synapse Analytics is an enterprise analytics service that offers a more efficient way to gain insights across data warehouses and big data systems. It offers the key features of multiple solutions: ETL from data warehouses, big data analytics, and reporting, as well as visualization (achieved by accessing Power BI within the service).
Difference between Synapse Analytics and Data Factory
Azure Synapse Analytics can help you turn big, unstructured data into actionable insights, while Data Factory ensures numerous integrations without the use of code. The main difference between the two services is that Synapse Analytics is an analytics service, and Data Factory is a hybrid data integration service that simplifies the ETL at scale. Data Factory offers the integration of different data sources, but Synapse Analytics serves as a platform from which you can manage, prepare and serve data for BI and Machine Learning purposes with reporting capabilities.
Azure Data Factory offers features such as:
real-time integration
parallel processing
data chunker
On the other hand, Azure Synapse provides:
Complete T-SQL-based analytics
deeply integrated Apache Spark
hybrid data integration
What does Azure Synapse Analytics do?
Ingest – all functionalities of Data Factory and more
Synapse Analytics offers all the possibilities of Data Factory such as the integration of different data sources, but with added functionalities of monitoring, management, alerting, and security in one place.
Explore and analyze – using Synapse SQL
Synapse SQL combines distributed query processing capabilities with Azure Storage to achieve high performance and scalability, offering serverless and dedicated resource models.
Serverless SQL pool
Serverless SQL pool is a query service over the data in your data lake. It enables you to access your data through these functionalities:
a familiar T-SQL syntax to query data in place without the need to copy or load data into a specialized store
integrated connectivity via the T-SQL interface that offers a wide range of business intelligence and ad-hoc querying tools, including the most popular drivers
Dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW)
Dedicated SQL pool (formerly SQL DW) is a collection of analytic resources that are provisioned when using Synapse SQL. The size of a dedicated SQL pool is determined by Data Warehousing Units (DWU).
The analysis results can go to worldwide reporting databases or applications. Business analysts can then gain insights to make well-informed business decisions.
The other available services are Apache Spark and Data Explorer (still in preview).
Visualization
The main appeal of Synapse Analytics lies in the ability to do everything in one place. Thanks to the native integration with Power BI, data can be instantly visualized in the platform.
Conclusion
Azure Synapse Analytics offers a way to have the whole end-to-end process in one place, from managing, preparing, and serving data for BI and machine learning purposes. Without the need to include additional platforms to import data from different sources, it positions itself as a must-have solution for data engineers.

The purpose of Ideas to Impact is to share the diverse paths each of us can take. To share ideas that change the way we perceive the world around us. In listening to others’ stories and challenges, we are growing as individuals and as a company. We hope it will do the same for you.
On Friday, our Unitfly office was filled with inspiring thoughts, after a presentation delivered by Marina Drašković, a judo coach and founder of Fuji – the first judo club for people with disabilities in Croatia. She has a black belt in judo, has travelled all over the world and trained with the best of the best. Yet, she considers founding Fuji Judo Club the biggest achievement in her life.
Marina from Fuji Judo Club for People with Disabilities with Unitfly team
When you are a child with a dream of going to the Olympics, you put all the efforts into that and practice two times a day. At least that’s how it was for Marina. “You’re setting goals and constantly looking forward, living in the future. But when things don’t work out as expected, you end up disappointed. It took a long time for me to finally stop living in the future, slow down and concentrate on the present.”
After letting go of the dream of being a professional athlete, Marina realized success is a subjective thing. For her, it’s about helping kids with disabilities overcome their obstacles.
Life isn’t about finding yourself; it’s about creating yourself.
Since an injury and lack of financing prevented her from accomplishing her dream of going to the Olympics, she majored in Economics. After a long search for a job in the field, she turned to what she knew best – judo. She started teaching kids in the local judo club, Pinky. Even though she didn’t have any experience with disabilities, the idea of helping disabled children engage in sports came to her mind. She got into contact with a coach who was organizing aikido classes for kids with disabilities and invited her to participate.
Knowing nothing about disabilities the children had, she started researching different conditions, studying and adapting the techniques for each child. Since then, she has completed a training program for a leader for sports activities for children with disabilities, the same program for judo coaches and a program for physiotherapeutic technician.

“After one judo session, I felt like I just gave them a million dollars.”
The first practice was a turning point. “At the end of the class, two girls with cerebral palsy hugged me for 15 minutes straight, thanking me for teaching them. I’ve never felt this kind of gratitude, my whole value system changed instantly”, Marina tells us.
From 2012, when she founded her association, until today, she holds practices for 40 kids, in five groups; kids with cerebral palsy and motor disabilities, Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities, kids from the Centre for Education of Children and Youth, kids with motor and intellectual disabilities, and girls with motor and intellectual disabilities.
All the groups are divided according to the needs and possibilities of each child. “Creativity is the most important skill here”, Marina continues. “You have to adapt each technique reflective of their disabilities and needs. It’s a matter of trial and error.” In her efforts, she has help from coaches, physiotherapists, and experts.

“By creating friendships, we live inclusion.”
The kids with disabilities can count on, not only the help of adults, but also their peers from Judo Club Pinky. Marina has created an encouraging, supportive space where children can train without stereotypes and judgement. That kind of environment results in breaking their psychological barriers. It gives them self-esteem and the opportunity to see themselves as athletes. This kind of integration breaks the societal prejudice, and helps children see beyond their disabilities. They spend time together with kids without difficulties, go to concerts, theatre, even weekend trips – for some, the first time without their parents.

Judo teaches them a healthy view of life. It helps them open up, socialize and develop skills needed for a quality life. On the other hand, children without disabilities develop sensibility society desperately needs, and learn to treat children with difficulties as their equals.
Marina’s judo club is completely free, running entirely off donations. “These parents have enough expenses with medical bills”, Marina emphasizes. “It is challenging but working with these kids is rewarding in itself.”
With initiatives like this, encouraging inclusion from the youngest age, we are helping in eliminating stereotypes and prejudice in the society. Marina is an example of a person who listened and recognized the need for society to change. And she took it into her own hands. We see an extraordinary woman fulfilling her vision and making a change. It’s on us to support her, share her story. So that one day, inclusion can become a norm.
If you wish to support their efforts, check out this fundraiser “800 km of Happiness” and raise money for sport inclusion for people with disabilities. They are making the 820 km trip biking and running to ensure all activities remain free for all club members in 2022.
