1. Super-charged communication
One of the main benefits of Microsoft Teams is that it fosters incredibly targeted communication among teams. There is almost no wasted time or discussion. The key is that it allows real-time chat among selected team players within topic channels. Microsoft Teams removes the time lag between team members not able to read emails. It keeps only those involved in a certain task involved.
2. Productivity is increased
Think of the time lost between email threads. Think of the time lost in trying to schedule meetings amongst remote workers. Task allocation during post-meeting follow ups is notoriously time-consuming. Document collation and version tracking is also problematic. One big benefit of Microsoft Teams is to heighten productivity by keeping the right people at the table in highly-focused collaborations with document retrieval built into the system.
3. Not limited by hardware and software
One benefit of Microsoft Teams is that it can be accessed anywhere, anytime, on any device. It eradicates the limitations of hardware or software preferences. It is supported on Windows, Mac, as well as iOS and Android. All you need is an internet connection.
4. Microsoft application integration
Microsoft Teams is fully integrated into Microsoft 365 – Office 365 is now called Microsoft 365. The entire Microsoft Office work family is available. This is a major benefit of Microsoft Teams. Applications like Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Yammer, to mention a few, can be accessed.
5. Meeting and scheduling tools
So much time is lost in team collaborations while trying to sync calendars. With Microsoft Teams you can have your existing appointments synced with other team members. Once your meeting is set up, you can talk about the meeting in a separate chat thread. You can agree on agendas and upload relevant documents, all within Microsoft Teams.
6. It is a Digital Transformation kickstarter
If your organisation is not digitally transformed, you will likely have many different data storage locations. This can cause delays when documents need to be accessed. One of the benefits of Microsoft Teams is that it takes you along a digital transformation journey. As it is a cloud based system, you can access information from anywhere, on any device, at any time.
7. Voice calling in Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams has beefed up its telephony offering. Up to 250 of your employees can make high quality voice calls at any time, even to external numbers. These ring on a desktop and mobile device simultaneously. This alleviates the need for expensive handsets as you can use a headset or the built-in audio on your desktop, laptop or mobile devices instead.
