Introduction to Microsoft Teams

At the heart of every business are teams collaborating together to maximize productivity for the business. Emails are sent, documents attached, phone calls made, and the team slowly stumbles by, trying to adhere to a process in order to ensure everyone is on the same page. Files are duplicated, emails missed, and catch up meetings required.

With the modern workplace teams are becoming wider spread, with teams being made up of multi-office, home working, and cross-functional members. Teams are more dispersed around your organisation and most users are now members of more teams than ever before, causing information scatter and overload.

Features of Microsoft Teams

Teams works the way businesses work, and greatly reduces emails and duplication. It quickly becomes the place to go for day to day working and keeping up to date.
