Digital online collaboration in the workplace is here to stay. Companies have been utilizing several applications to connect with internal teams and customers. If your organization is already using Microsoft Office 365, you can automatically access the MS Teams application — It is part of the Office 365 and the good thing is it’s already bundled into the price!
The Basics
Microsoft Teams is a chat, meeting, workspace that enables your staff to interact during meetings, between meetings or anytime. It allows for instant posting and sharing of documents, charts and other rich information within a common interface. Whether through video or online chat, team members can quickly assemble and coordinate their activities on a particular project.
Instantly Access Other 365 Services
Teams also benefits from the other Office 365 services. It can natively access SharePoint to save or retrieve files that users may be working on together. In addition, you can also get real-time collaboration with the Office web apps (Word, Excel and PowerPoint and One Note).

In addition to the Skype functions like instant Messaging, screen and desktop sharing, whiteboard capabilities and web conferencing Microsoft Teams adds:
- Centralized managed and stored chat/collaboration
- Integration of both internal and external content and tools
- More extensive integration across the Office 365 application landscape
- Content management and integration
