You need to keep your business moving. That’s why today more than ever – it’s time for Microsoft Teams. The hub for team collaboration in Microsoft 365 integrates the people, content, and tools your team needs to be more engaged and effective. SoftwareONE is here to help you put the power of Microsoft Teams to work at the heart of your digital transformation.
Microsoft Teams builds on Skype for Business and SharePoint to provide intelligent collaboration with access to telephony, video and web conferencing, messaging and ad hoc meetings. But it can also open a world of possibilities for your business.
Invite your staff to think about collaboration in a new way

With Microsoft Teams, your employees can seamlessly switch between multiple communication methods such as video conference calling, instant messaging, real-time document collaboration, and file sharing - individually or altogether as needed — all in one place.

Ensure your teams are on the same page with group chat, online meetings, calling, and web conferencing.

Add in your favorite Microsoft applications and third-party services to keep your business moving forward.

Getting started with Microsoft Teams
A Microsoft Teams adoption and the corresponding Microsoft Teams Services look very similar to moving other applications from a traditional on-prem server environment to the cloud. Depending on the organization’s size and geographical locations, the process could last anywhere from a few months to over a year. This migration process consists of several thoughtful steps, including:
Technical
Readiness
The shift to the cloud changes the traffic bandwidth patterns between the clients and the Microsoft 365 cloud, and you need to ensure that you have sufficiently prepared for these routing changes.
Teams &
Channels
Your organization should carefully consider how to implement and configure Microsoft Teams coming with the Microsoft 365 suite. Decide who will set up your various teams and channels for maximum effectiveness. Determine which people or groups to include.
Security &
Compliance
Microsoft Teams services use a variety of security and compliance tools and protocols. Auditing and Reporting, Data Retention Policies, eDiscovery, and Legal hold all need to be set up and configured before a Microsoft Teams adoption.
Following these best practices will ensure that you’re well on your way towards successfully integrating Microsoft Teams into your Future Workplace.
