Like it or not, Microsoft Teams has taken the business world by storm. Pre pandemic Teams was gaining traction as a replacement for Skype & Slack. When the pandemic hit, almost all businesses with Office 365 made the switch to Microsoft teams for online collaboration.
With many of our clients now fully embedded with Teams, we thought it would be worthwhile sharing some compelling use cases that you may not even know are possible within MS Teams.
1. Ditch WhatsApp for Teams
Ask any data security geek, and they'll tell you that all business data should be under lock and key, with the business able to control where the data is stored and who has access.
This brings up some scenarios, including the use of applications like WhatsApp - if you are using this application to communicate with colleagues in the business about business affairs, you seriously need to consider migrating your instant message chats to Microsoft Teams.
Not only will your data be secure, but it will be under the business control, so if an employee should leave the organisation they're not going to walk out with all that business data in their WhatsApp account. Microsoft Teams has a fully functioning chat capability on Android & iOS, which is worth checking out.
2. A Members Portal
Does your business interact with external members or clients regularly? You can create dedicated Teams channels for client communication, project collaboration, and file sharing - all in a secure, controlled environment.
3. Project Management Hub
Teams integrates with Planner, Lists, and other Microsoft 365 apps to become a comprehensive project management solution without needing additional software.
