As a viable solution, and one that many businesses are moving towards, Microsoft Teams brings together everything your team needs: chat and threaded conversations, meetings & video conferencing, PSTN calling, content collaboration with Office 365 applications, and the ability to create and integrate the apps and workflows that your business relies on. One key feature is the added sense of security; because Microsoft Teams is a part of Microsoft 365, it comes with enterprise-grade security, compliance, and manageability – all of which are essential.

How can Microsoft Teams benefit your business?

Transform Workplace collaboration

With many team members working remotely, it can seem cumbersome to get everyone together for a virtual meeting. Microsoft Teams creates a shared workspace where users can chat, meet, create, and make decisions as a team. And since all your content is organized by team or project, you can easily stay in the flow of your work. It can take the average person a staggering 23 minutes to regain their productivity after an interruption or being distracted.

Streamline business processes

You need to have access to business-critical data and applications, and be able to execute repeatable processes efficiently. Since Teams is a true platform, you can plug in apps and services you already use, and even integrate your existing tailor-made tools INTO Teams. Imagine being able to seamlessly kick off a repeatable approvals process without ever having to leave Teams.

Connect everyone on a single platform

Teams is just as important and effective for a C-level executive, as it is for team members on a factory floor, in a retail shop, a classroom setting, hospital, a marketing role, or anyone in between.

Whether you are already using Teams or just getting started with it, these simple tips and tricks will help you make the most of your collaboration experience.
