Microsoft Teams is at the heart of modern ways of working. As an essential collaboration tool, it has enabled millions of geographically dispersed teams to share work and ideas around the world.
With the landscape constantly changing, teamwork is playing a central role for most businesses. As a long-standing, accredited Microsoft partner with over 1.77m global users, we have empowered hundreds of organisations to create cloud-native environments for their workforce.
Keeping teams connected is just one of the benefits of Microsoft Teams solutions. You can instantly manoeuvre from group chat to video conferencing, or even host conferences for up to 10,000 people. Collaboration in apps like Word and Excel is effortless too, with teams able to easily find, share, and edit files in real time.
Keep things simple by making and receiving calls directly in Microsoft Teams, with the option to add advanced features like group calling, transfers, and cloud voicemail.
From improved collaboration and productivity to more secure hybrid work opportunities, our Microsoft Teams Consultants can work with you to meet your business goals, fostering a culture of collaboration, regardless of location.

FAQs
Microsoft Teams offers a wide range of integrations with other Microsoft and third-party tools to enhance productivity and collaboration. Here are some ways it integrates:
- Built-in Apps and Automated Workflows: Microsoft Teams has built-in apps that make processes more efficient and automate workflows. You can add partner or custom apps, bots, automated workflows, and dashboards. There are more than 700 apps to choose from.
- Third-Party Apps: Microsoft Teams supports integration with many third-party applications, including productivity apps, CRM systems, project management tools, analytics services, and more. For instance, Trello can be integrated into Teams to manage project boards, allowing you to see your Trello cards and conversations side-by-side.
- Microsoft Apps: In addition to Office 365 apps, Microsoft Teams also integrates with other Microsoft apps such as Power BI, Dynamics 365, and SharePoint. This allows users to access important data and insights directly within Teams.
- Integration Options: Teams offers three options for integration: tabs, cards, and bots. Tabs are dedicated sections within Teams where you can view and interact with the content and features of your integrated apps. Cards allow you to create rich interactive content within Teams. Bots are automated programs that respond to queries or perform tasks. Custom Apps: Teams allows you to build custom apps even with little or no development experience. This provides the ultimate customised experience.
Microsoft Teams was designed to transform collaboration and communication across multiple departments in a business. Depending on your integration, Teams can benefit the communication efforts in your organisation by delivering chat, meetings, voice calls, and video solutions.
The key benefit of the Microsoft Teams suite is that everything is in one place, which makes it easier for your workforce to find everything they need. This is especially important in organisations where resistance to change has been a factor in technology integrations previously. Plus, it’s the hub for teamwork in Microsoft 365, so if you’re already using the M365 suite, Teams will be instantly familiar to your workforce.
For effective collaboration, Teams integrates with all the apps already in Microsoft 365, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, Planner, Stream, and Power BI. Microsoft Teams has integrated security.
Microsoft Teams can be transformative for remote work and enabling your teams to collaborate virtually. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses turned to Teams as the enabler for remote working and virtual collaboration. The ability to seamlessly work on documents in real-time with others around the world, while making calls and sending messages is vital for remote work.
Microsoft Teams is one of the best and most widely used collaboration tools available to businesses today, and it continues to develop innovative features and updates that keep it in the top spot. With Teams, your employees can collaborate extensively from remote locations, using multiple devices, and without the risk of information silos or missed communications.
The key standout feature of Microsoft Teams is its ability to integrate seamlessly with other solutions in the Microsoft stack. As the hub of Microsoft 365, you can use Teams alongside all the other Microsoft programs you already use, from collaborating in real-time on an Excel spreadsheet to sharing Word documents and syncing Outlook calendars for seamless collaboration.

Remember, the goal of these customisations is to tailor Microsoft Teams to your organisation’s specific needs, enhancing productivity and collaboration.
