What Is Microsoft Teams?
Microsoft Teams is a chat-based workspace that lets you fully embrace the upside of teamwork.
It’s integrated with Microsoft 365 and makes collaboration seamless with file sharing and uploads from SharePoint and OneDrive. Integration with 365 apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote means co-authoring documents is a breeze.
With Teams, you’ll always have access to the latest version.
From online meetings, calling and messaging to integrating third-party applications, Microsoft Teams is the most effective way to boost business productivity, while keeping everything secure and compliant within 365.
Connect, Collaborate & Communicate
Businesses that invest in teamwork solutions are five times more likely to be high performing, according to a recent Microsoft report.
Microsoft Teams is not only the fastest growing teamwork application, it’s also one of the best solutions on the market to connect, collaborate and communicate with
your colleagues, customers and suppliers. If you’ve been left scratching your head, asking yourself; ‘Where is the latest customer project document?’ and have often wasted time trying to find it on your desktop PC or your network drive, Microsoft Teams could be the teamwork hub for you.
