What Exactly is Microsoft Teams?

Teams is a chat-based collaboration platform that is part of the robust suite of Office 365 services and is truly built for today’s workforce in mind. Teams provides global, remote, and dispersed teams with the ability to work together collectively and share information in a central common place. It allows organizing chats by teams (projects) and various channels (different topics / audiences that comprise a team).

You can leverage excellent new features like document collaboration and one-on-one chat, team chat, and more. Microsoft Teams is also fully integrated with Office 365 services, such as Skype, SharePoint and Exchange.

Microsoft Teams provides a versatile conversation / chat experience. You will be able to enjoy threaded conversations that automatically become information assets that are saved. These assets are searchable through Microsoft Graph. These conversations can become visible to everyone on your team, but you do have the option of launching private discussions in Teams.

Skype for Business to Teams Migrations:

As a part of Microsoft’s effort to cutdown the number of tools to do similar things within Office 365, Microsoft Teams is now at feature parity with Skype for Business. This is a significant milestone indeed, because it means that organizations are able to now switch to the newer platform without having to sacrifice their favorite features.

Microsoft Teams is not just a unified communication application; it’s a collaboration tool with a window into other apps and services. This is the reason that many refer to it as an app hub. What this effectively means is that Microsoft Teams is a “Super App” for people to communicate, collaborate, and ultimately work.

Think of it this way, Microsoft Teams adds an extra thin layer of functionality on top of Office 365 Groups giving users access to SharePoint Online, Planner, OneNote, site functionality and others.– This is a big deal.

Adopting Microsoft Teams effectively means that businesses are implementing SharePoint & OneDrive even if they haven’t deliberately done it yet. This is due to the fact that the file storage of Microsoft Teams is delivered by SharePoint & OneDrive.

So why doesn’t Microsoft just come up with an upgraded version of Skype for Business? Because Microsoft doesn’t just want to see you upgrade another app. Microsoft is more interested in changing your behaviors around email, file shares, attachments and switching between various applications, thus literally changing the way you work and making you more efficient.

So, whether you are ready or not a Microsoft Teams adoption is inevitable.
