Is your business still running on paper trails, sprawling Excel files, or ageing Access databases? There's a better way — and I can show you exactly what it looks like. I'm the Technical Director of Vantage 365, a Microsoft solutions consultancy working with clients across the UK, the Netherlands, and worldwide. For over 30 years I've been turning messy, manual business processes into clean, automated systems that save time, reduce errors, and give teams the visibility they need to make better decisions.

I wish there was a way to turn this off – I don’t need gold stars, I quit caring about that in 1st grade.
Then again, I guess the current crop of noob employees needs constant reinforcement, don’t they?
Personally I think that the praise app is a bit of fun during the boring working day. It can put a smile on someone’s face.
Have you tried disabling the Praise app?
