Microsoft Teams
Sometimes teamwork crosses organisational and geographic boundaries. This can make communication hard –but it doesn’t need to thanks to Microsoft Teams.
What is Microsoft Teams?
Microsoft Teams is a digital workspace available as part of your Microsoft Office 365 subscription. It allows your employees to call or message each other wherever they are. They can also share and work together on Office 365 documents and automatically store them on your SharePoint. In other words, Microsoft Teams is an all-in-one solution for teams to communicate and collaborate on documents.Key Features of Microsoft Teams
Meetings
Host meetings online with Microsoft Team’s video conferencing feature. Invite people inside or outside your company, organise webinars or live events and benefit from additional features such as note taking or desktop sharing to enhance your video-conferencing experience.
Calling
Calling and communicating is at the heart of what this business application does. Depending on your Microsoft Licence, you will be able to make Teams-to-Teams calls free of charge, or to make and receive calls from anywhere in the world, and on any device (phones, computers, Teams Rooms, …).

Benefits of Microsoft Teams
Increase collaboration
Members of your team can easily share and collaborate on important documents thanks to Microsoft Teams’ user-friendly interface. Documents shared on this platform are automatically added to your Microsoft SharePoint account and can easily be edited in other Office 365 applications.
Each user can create up to 250 teams, so your entire organisation can collaborate on this platform. Have one-to-one conversation or work on group projects easily thanks the voice, video conferencing and messaging features, no matter where you are.
Increase mobility
Teams is hosted in the Cloud, making it accessible from any device. There is also a bespoke Teams app, which allows you to use it on-the-go. If your employees are working remotely for the day, they can use Teams on their laptop or home desktop. If they are off to a business meeting, and need access to a document last minute, they simply have to open the app on their mobile phone to access it, making it a valuable solution when meeting clients outside the office.
Increased Security
Like all other Microsoft Business Applications, Teams is a highly-secure platform, with advanced security features. Your data isencrypted and hosted at one of Microsoft’s data centres in the UK, which means it is GDPR compliant. Other security measures include multi-factor authentication, data loss prevention, information barriers, legal hold and more. This solution also meets compliance obligations for ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA and many more.
