Outlook has a new sibling…. Teams will deliver a lot of new functions

You might have heard of it – that’s right – Microsoft Teams. The ultimate business collaboration and communications tool and the new sibling to Outlook.

Microsoft Teams Is Growing

Teams is everywhere right now and currently hosts 75 million daily active users. Thanks to the scramble to remote work as the pandemic lockdown took root, Teams has grown immensely this year. Microsoft recently announced a 45 million user increase in just a little over six months.

Given this growth, vast amounts of resources have been poured into Microsoft Teams to meet the increased demand. There’s one problem though, it lacks structure.

Lost Control

The trouble stems from the fact that users freely take advantage of Teams’ wide range of features. While this is great to see, it has resulted in a wild, uncoordinated mess that’s difficult for companies to get any sort of control over. For every business endeavor, users create a new team. Files are scattered everywhere. The risk of data leaks is increasing. Control is lost. And it needs to be reinstated.

Why? Well, GDPR compliance for one. Given the vast amount of personal data sent over Teams, companies could quickly discover the importance of data governance.

But fret not. WorkPoint 365 has a solution that streamlines the way companies use Teams, ensures governance and control, helps them get a handle on GDPR companies, and provides structure at the same time.

As WorkPoint does with all Microsoft 365 solutions, we have created a smarter way of working in Teams by simplifying what the program actually does.

Control The Future – Will Outlook die?

Instead of letting your users freely create new teams without limits, WorkPoint provides set templates, which ensures greater coherence and a standardised way of working.

Syncing information with a master site is important. With your master Team, you can configure all processes and shape the experience to fit your organisational protocols. It also syncs up with the company projects and cases created, forming automatic teams where you can handle all crucial communication.

Will Outlook die? Perhaps. What Microsoft has proven true is that Teams can do so much more and is growing tremendously quickly. With its growing number of functionalities and connection to other applications, it won’t be long before a new, better solution replaces Outlook and emails.

When that day comes – WorkPoint will be ready. And so too will your business.
