Over the past year, remote work has become the norm for many. However, to truly explore the potential and benefits of the so-called “New Ways of Working,” it is essential to analyze and implement new ways for different teams within the company to collaborate.
One of the main tools for exponentially boosting virtual collaboration is Microsoft Teams. To date, over 90% of large and medium-sized companies in Italy use this software, with nearly one million users each month.
Let's explore together the 5 benefits that make Microsoft Teams one of the most versatile and efficient applications for productivity and collaboration:
1. Is your inbox always full of emails? Use Teams chat
With Microsoft Teams, you can communicate in real time with your colleagues and your workgroup. You can make voice calls, video calls, and use chat to get quick feedback or update your employees on the latest company news. In fact, thanks to group chatsand channels, you can reach multiple people at once with just a few clicks. This way, you’ll save yourself a lot of internal emails!
2. Collaborate on documents in real time
Do you need quick feedback from a colleague on a file you're working on? Share it in Microsoft Teams chat. You can also share your documents in group chats and channels to edit them in real time—collaboration and teamwork have never been easier.
3. Back up your files
In Microsoft Teams chats—whether private or group chats—you can store all your documents; just share them, and they’ll always be available to you in the “Files” tab, from any device. In channels (teams), on the other hand, you’ll also be able to organize your files by sorting them into folders. Just to keep your coworkers in check 😉
4. Always available and secure, no matter where you are
Microsoft Teams is also available as a mobile app. Are you out of the office but need to quickly check a document you've shared with your team? With the app for smartphones and tablets, you can access everything you need, no matter where you are.
5. Build a Team and Boost Your Productivity
By creating a channel, you’ll be able to share your work with your colleagues, but you can also use it to involve people outside the organization, such as partners, customers, or suppliers. All the information you need is in one place, so you can receive feedback on projects, edit files, archive them, and organize them into folders.
Microsoft Teams has proven to be an indispensable tool for adapting to the new communication and collaboration needs of the New Ways of Working—not just an effective tool for holding virtual meetings and calls, but a true hub for teamwork.
