Microsoft Teams

In communication and cooperation with suppliers, partners and customers, applications are needed that enable work across company boundaries. For joint projects, document sharing, editing and scheduling are important. In this area, the use of Microsoft SharePoint and Outlook is therefore recommended.

For efficient collaboration within the company, applications are needed that enable joint access to documents and calendars, organize meetings and, above all, make the internal exchange of data and knowledge as fluid and transparent as possible. If the exchange with external e-mails is still predominant, the internal flood of e-mails should be reduced to a minimum. With Microsoft teams, they also have the right solution here.

The advantages at a glance:

Deep integration with Microsoft 365

All content, tools, documents, contacts, and conversations are available in the Microsoft Teams workspace. The solution also provides direct access from within the program to familiar Microsoft 365 applications such as SharePoint Online, OneNote, Skype for Business, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. It all comes together in one place.

Example: Link to Outlook and Skype for Business: Each channel in Microsoft teams has its own email address, so team members can post news or emails from Outlook directly to each channel. In addition, the Outlook calendar is also integrated into teams, as described below. If a personal message in teams is not read promptly, a notification is immediately sent via Outlook. The chat-based communication in teams as well as all meeting meetings are fully integrated into Skype for Business or are based on the application. For example, users who have not yet installed the Team application will automatically receive personalized messages from teams via Skype for Business. All fully integrated.

Easily schedule appointments

It is possible to invite to meetings within Microsoft teams, or to private meetings with individual team members if desired - either via an immediate meeting or via a scheduled appointment. The integrated appointment assistant helps to find free appointments. By integrating the Outlook calendar into teams, appointments can be booked and moved directly from the team application, as well as viewing your own calendar. Everything can be planned centrally.

Communication via different devices

Not only from PC or Mac as well as laptops, but also from smartphones with Android, iOS and Windows it is also possible to make (video) phone calls directly from Microsoft teams. Everything can be done from anywhere.

Integration of partner applications

With the launch of Microsoft Teams, Microsoft also announces more than 150 enhancements by partners already available. Among others, SAP and DocuSign have reached corresponding agreements with Microsoft.
