Asana + Amazon Q Business Integration Powers AI Workflows With Unified Third-Party App Data

Employees waste valuable time jumping between applications to find information and context needed to move work forward. Meanwhile, AI systems can't deliver reliable outputs because critical data remains dispersed across disconnected applications. 

Asana's new integration with the Amazon Q index addresses these challenges by allowing teams to access information and surface insights from third-party applications directly within Asana. Teams can now use Asana AI to get important project insights – such as blockers, risks and next steps – by leveraging data from connected tools like Outlook, Google Drive, and Salesforce.

Empowering Cross-Functional Teams

• For Marketing teams, when planning a campaign in Asana, they can instantly access previous campaign briefs from Google Docs, competitive analysis from SharePoint, and customer feedback from Salesforce—all without switching applications. 

• PMO teams can pull budget data from Google Sheets, stakeholder communications from Outlook, and project documentation from SharePoint to get comprehensive portfolio insights directly within their Asana dashboards. 

• IT teams can access technical documentation from Google Drive, and team communications from Outlook to accelerate problem resolution and project delivery.

This unified approach empowers teams to seamlessly pull context from across their entire digital workspace directly within their workflow, transforming fragmented information into actionable insights that drive real business impact across every role and department.

Solving Enterprise Connectivity Challenges

As previewed at AWS re:Invent 2024, this integration represents a fundamental shift from fragmented work environments to connected AI-powered ecosystems. Now, teams can access data from applications like Google Drive, Gmail, Outlook, SharePoint, and Salesforce in Asana.

The integration benefits businesses in three critical ways: 

Connecting applications in minutes with a one-time setup that eliminates time-consuming integration processes that burden IT teams. The Asana + Amazon Q index integration can be configured quickly with secure permissions, replacing the traditional complexity of connecting multiple enterprise systems with a single, streamlined process.

Building AI-powered workflows without code so non-technical teams can create sophisticated workflows that unify applications and data. The integration provides search across all connected applications, enabling teams to pull information from Gmail exchanges and Outlook calendars that supplements Asana data for comprehensive project context. 

Scaling AI company-wide by allowing teams to access real-time data and insights where they already work. Teams working in Asana can ask Asana AI or initiate AI-powered workflows to quickly surface information from connected applications like Salesforce. By eliminating information silos, AI can transform data into actionable insights and drive greater human + AI productivity across the organization.

Delivering on Connected Work

The integration accelerates Asana's vision of being the place where humans and AI coordinate and execute work together because it dramatically speeds up information discoverability and context enrichment. By solving application fragmentation and data silos, organizations can work smarter, scale AI adoption across teams, and maintain operational excellence in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

This integration is available in all AWS Regions where Amazon Q Business is supported, allowing global organizations to leverage this powerful connection while maintaining the highest standards of security and compliance.
