If there ever was an underexplored, yet much-needed solution to workplace collaboration in the current remote working era, Microsoft Teams would fit the bill. Microsoft Teams as an integral part of the Office 365 suite<\/a>, is a synergistic business software deployed for workplace communication and collaboration.<\/p>\n

Many customers, including IT admins and end-users, are yet to grasp the enormously powerful range of benefits to be derived in the modern digital workplace in terms of Microsoft\u2019s solution<\/a> for content creation, group-file sharing and messaging since its official launch. So, we\u2019ve gone ahead and highlighted them for you.<\/p>\n

Improved Security<\/h2>\n

As a complementary unit to Microsoft\u2019s broader Office productivity suite, Teams is as secure as the rest of the entire Microsoft 365 suite. This is especially important as Teams shares many of the broader benefits, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), single-sign-on (SSO) via Active Directory (AD), secure guest access, and automatic encryption of data in transit and at rest. It enjoys the same advanced compliance, security standards, and quality cloud platform services inherent in Office 365 including SOC1 and SOC2, HIPAA, and FERPA.<\/p>\n

Teams is also compliant with Conditional Access (CA) and MFA, which allows IT departments to regulate access to data by device, under your organisation\u2019s current set policies while blocking access to services by IP addresses or user location. It also comes seamlessly integrated into the in-built Audit Log with Office 365 Security & Compliance Centre, allowing users to set alerts and report on audit events and log data as you would with other MS services.<\/p>\n

Cost-effective<\/h2>\n

Microsoft Teams<\/a> is not an additional standalone expenditure but rather, is included in a variety of Microsoft Office packages such as Office 365 Business Premium\/Business Essentials, Enterprise E1, E3 or E5 subscriptions, etc. As part of the Office 365 suite, it is subscription-based and is therefore cost-effective, allowing organisations to plan their IT expenditure far more easily.<\/p>\n

Integrations everywhere!<\/h2>\n

By leveraging the cloud-based and on-premises integration capabilities of Azure, Microsoft Teams has the capacity to connect businesses to 200+ Microsoft and third-party services, enabling users to source data, collaborate on projects and receive updates.<\/p>\n

Integrations are possible with a variety of applications including SalesForce, GetResponse, Mailchimp, Facebook Pages, Asana, Zendesk, Aircall, Google Analytics among others.<\/p>\n

Mobile device management with Microsoft Intune<\/h2>\n

The official Microsoft Teams app available on all major mobile operating systems allows for on-the-go collaborative work and communication with fewer disruptions. The app features a seamless interface and full telephony capabilities with smartphones and tablets, using the capacity of the Microsoft Intune in Office 365 to:<\/p>\n
