Why will traditional business cards be forgotten?
In the era of digitalization and hybrid work, paper business cards are losing their significance. Online meetings, dynamic changes in teams, and growing data security requirements make traditional methods of exchanging contacts insufficient. Companies need a solution that is fast, secure, and integrated with the tools they use every day. E-business cards are the answer to these needs. A modern tool that combines ease of use with full control over data and compliance with the organization's security policy.
What is Ewizytówka?
E-business card is a digital business card in the form of a QR code, available as an extension of the Microsoft 365 package. It allows employees to easily share their contact details – all the recipient has to do is scan the QR code to instantly save the complete contact in vCard format on their phone or computer. This solution eliminates the need to manually retype data, which not only saves time but also minimizes the risk of errors. Importantly, Ewizytówka works in an environment that users are familiar with and use on a daily basis, in applications such as Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint, without the need to install additional programs.
Data security: the foundation of Ewizytówki
Information security is one of the most important aspects in today's business world. Unlike many applications available on the market, Ewizytówka does not send data to external servers. All information is retrieved directly from the company's Azure Active Directory catalog, which means that it remains fully under the control of the organization. This allows companies to be sure that their employees' data will not fall into the wrong hands. In addition, the QR code is generated automatically based on verified data from the HR system or AD, which eliminates the risk of information manipulation. Employees cannot change their position or add a false title on their own, which increases credibility and builds trust in business contacts.
Automation and timeliness: the end of manual labor
One of the biggest advantages of Ewizytówka is that the process is fully automated. Once implemented, the solution works in plug-and-play mode, which means that it does not require any additional configuration on the user's part. When an employee joins the organization and their account is created in the Active Directory, the system automatically generates a digital business card for them. What is more, the data is always up to date. Any change in an employee's profile, such as a change of position or department, is immediately reflected in the QR code. This gives the company a consistent and professional image, and employees do not have to worry about manual updates.
Integration with Microsoft 365: a natural working environment
The digital business card has been designed to fit perfectly into the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Users can access their business cards in the applications they already know: Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint. In practice, this means that the QR code can be pinned to the Teams sidebar, available as an add-in in Outlook, or displayed on an intranet page in SharePoint.
Thanks to integration with Azure Active Directory, logging in is automatic via Single Sign-On, eliminating the need for additional passwords and increasing user convenience. Implementation does not require additional infrastructure, as everything runs in the Microsoft cloud, ensuring scalability and reliability.
How does Ewizytówka work in practice?
In everyday business situations, Ewizytówka significantly facilitates the exchange of contacts. During face-to-face meetings, an employee can display their QR code on their phone or laptop screen, and the other person can scan it with their smartphone camera. When working remotely, the QR code can be inserted into an email in Outlook or attached as a vCard file. What's more, the app allows you to search for contacts within your organization. Simply find a colleague in the system and share their QR code with the client. It's a fast, convenient, and secure solution that eliminates the need to send contacts in the traditional way.
Comparison: E-business card vs. typical QR business cards
Feature | E-business card (M365) | Typical QR solution |
Data security | Data within the organization (SharePoint/AD), no transfer to external servers | Data in the provider's cloud |
Source of data | Automatic synchronization with AD | Data entered manually |
Integration | Teams, Outlook, SharePoint | A separate application or website |
UX | No configuration, easy to use | Requires registration and use of an additional application |
Why is it worth implementing Ewizytówka?
Security and privacy are becoming increasingly important in the business world. Companies do not want to entrust their employees' data to random applications, which is why Ewizytówka has been designed with full control over information in mind. It operates within the company's environment, using data already controlled by the company, which eliminates concerns about information leaks. Integration with Microsoft 365 means lower costs and easier implementation, as the organization does not have to purchase, learn, or maintain a separate system. Users quickly accept the solution because it appears in their familiar interface, e.g., in Teams as another application icon, instead of requiring the installation of something new. Implementing Ewizytówka is a step towards modernity that increases work comfort and builds a professional image for the company.
