Since adopting Smartsheet, Jeremy shared how the team has experienced a noticeable improvement in communication and workflow transparency. The tool has empowered them to easily track project deadlines, manage resources efficiently, and coordinate efforts between different departments, such as leadership, finance, and operations. This has led to smoother processes and more informed decision-making across the board. He also emphasized the critical role that Smartsheet now plays in providing real-time visibility through its intuitive dashboards, allowing the team to stay on top of key tasks, monitor internal requests, and quickly follow up on pending actions.

Reflecting on the Smartsheet User Group Malaysia event, I feel incredibly thankful for the opportunity to connect with so many like-minded professionals and exchange valuable ideas. This was my second time attending, and each experience has proven to be impactful. Not only did I meet new individuals who share similar interests, but I also found it to be a great opportunity to improve my soft skills and build my confidence in a supportive environment. The event was truly eye-opening for me and one practical lesson I gained during the event that I can apply to my daily work using Smartsheet is how reminders and automation help me and my team stay on top of updates and follow-ups, especially when handling customer subscription renewals. Additionally, after hearing from Jeremy and Utkash, I realized that I've improved in tracking tasks and collaborating with my team.
