3 Benefits of Embracing Microsoft Teams Solutions

"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much" - Helen Keller

Since the COVID-19 outbreak last year, many of us have been working remotely. In other words, we can say that work from home has become the new norm. Having a team that works remotely offers a slew of benefits to businesses including higher productivity, lower business overheads, no more time killing on useless meetings, lesser number of leaves will be taken by staff, employees are less likely to quit, and many more.

Albeit, work from home culture offers countless benefits to businesses, yet, it has its own share of challenges such as collaboration and communication between Intra and Inter teams. To address this problem, businesses of all sizes have embraced Microsoft Teams solutions. This intuitive, yet robust online collaboration tool has come a long way since its initial release in 2017 and today it is being used by over 330,000 companies across the world. Now, let’s look at some benefits of implementing this collaborative workspace tool.

1. Fun Way to Communicate

Microsoft Teams consulting allows you to have quick communication with your teammates. Besides text, you can also express your ideas using emojis, stickers, and GIFs. This simple yet powerful application enables you to have threaded communication with your teammates, which in turn, makes it easier for you to have everything recorded in one place and easy to find. Having Microsoft Teams integration at your disposal, there is no more scouring the inbox to find the important emails. Besides this, it allows you to integrate Skype for video or audio calls.

2. Not Just Limited to Chat

Besides offering a fun way to have chats with your colleagues, the Microsoft Teams consulting brings together all the applications in one place that you need at your workplace. From Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to Power BI, Delve, OneNote, Planner, SharePoint, Microsoft Graph, and more are all integrated with Microsoft Teams. The best part of using Microsoft Teams is that without leaving your chat window, you can work on files, make a video or audio call, share a task, schedule a meeting, and much more. In a nutshell, there is no more switching between different apps when you opt for Microsoft Teams services.

3. Stay Connected from Anywhere, Anytime

When you are on the go, it becomes challenging to have access to all your work resources or stay connected with other colleagues. However, with Microsoft Teams you don’t have to face this problem. The mobile-friendly application of Microsoft Teams allows you to have instant access to all your documents or work applications. You can easily make a call, edit files, reply to chat, join meetings in just a few clicks and stay connected from anywhere, anytime. In short, you’ll be in the loop even when you are on the go.
