With Addin365, the founder saw the unique opportunity to build products that would help organisations to leverage Microsoft services like Yammer and Stream as part of their digital employee experiences and then improve on that with IP from Addin365. “I would open a demonstration, and say ‘you can have this, and it costs this amount, and it will deliver these benefits.’ Its built on the Microsoft 365 framework, but its fast forwarding and showing the end result in the first meeting. “Were driving ROI … but were not making it a technology-led experience where theres a requirement for you to understand everything thats in the technology kitbag … we talk the language of business [not technical jargon].” The path to success isn’t an easy journey, and Suzy recalls the early years and the realisation that she had everything invested in this one endeavour. I needed to pay someone to build the code of the first product I wanted to take to market and that was a really difficult time.” But with Suzy’s sharp mind and good instincts, she saw the potential and future success of Addin365, and so she weathered those rocky early days. “There’s a skills shortage in our sector … we bring people in that have the right aptitude, start them on a meaningful salary and have a clear growth plan that shows them the potential to earn more every year in a really transparent way.
