SharePoint can be game changing for your organization’s collaboration in a lot of ways. If SharePoint is a backbone for your team working together, then Teams is a gateway to take that collaboration to the next level. Microsoft Teams benefits your SharePoint infrastructure to ensure that whatever happens in one place carries over to another with seamless integration.

If you create a document on SharePoint, then you can easily share it and open it up in Teams. If you need to find a page on your organization’s intranet, you can hop straight from Teams to SharePoint to make that search easier. There are few pairs better matched than SharePoint and Teams together, and taking advantage of that connection can help your organization soar.

Many of the tools we use to communicate at work have been optimized for one or two uses. Email is perfect to send files, while WebEx makes it easy to see someone’s face online. Use a company cell phone for a quick question, but if you can’t call everyone you need to talk to, then just post on the intranet. These systems make sense, but it doesn’t have to be that complicated.

Microsoft Teams wraps up all your communication needs into a single platform. Teams gives you one place to keep in touch with your colleagues when you’re working remotely or in the office. Having one platform gives you one place to go and one set of rules to learn. No matter what, Microsoft Teams can serve as the strong glue that will keep your organization connected.

Half the battle of saying the right thing is figuring out the right way to say it. Do you send an email that might get lost in a busy inbox? Are you sure it is okay to call on the phone? How can you work on one document together without relying on unclear comments or the red ink of tracking changes? Instead of juggling between two or three different platforms, Microsoft Teams benefits your organization’s collaboration hierarchy by placing what you need in one place.

Need to send a quick chat to your manager? Use Teams. Want to host a video call with your department? Use Teams. Want to show off your slide deck the way it was meant to be presented? You guessed it: Teams can do that. Bringing all these different functions under one roof gives your team one place to connect and collaborate with one another.

Teams has fully functioning apps for iOS and Android, but you don’t even need the app to make the most of Teams on your phone. Teams can create dial-in numbers for your meetings, giving you a way to take advantage of the platform without the app. Teams can even give you a call from a dial-in number during a meeting so that you can seamlessly transition from your computer to your phone when you’re on the go.
