With support from the MWMW programme, Ola moved from OneDrive to SharePoint and introduced Microsoft Copilot, automating time-consuming admin and freeing him up to focus on growth. “Through the programme, I learned about tools that help me automate document sharing and communication. What used to take me hours can now be done in seconds”. “Now I have more time to focus on bringing in new people and growing the business. Automating processes has been a game- changer.” Ola’s mission extends beyond tech. Inspired by his non-traditional path, he’s determined to open doors for others in Salford. “I want to bring in people who don’t have experience in the field and give them a chance; that’s how I started.
I want to pass that on, help others get their foot in the door and learn hands-on.” Looking ahead, Ola plans to scale further by migrating to AWS while preparing for major projects like digitising documentation for the Ministry of Justice in Congo. “We’re moving everything to the cloud. AWS will save us money and help us access data securely from anywhere,” said Ola. He encourages other businesses to embrace digital transformation. “Any business can benefit from this. AI helps you work smarter and create more opportunities for yourself and your team. That’s why programmes like MWMW are so crucial — they support non-tech businesses in understanding what’s out there and how they can save themselves money and time.”
“Before joining the Modern Worker for the Modern Workplace programme, I did everything myself and wrote code to automate tasks from scratch. The programme showed me tools that save time, cut costs, and allow me to focus on growing my business and creating opportunities for others.” Ola Bachabi Founder of Data Analytics & Consultancy
