Introducing Microsoft Teams
Are you constantly getting attachments by email from your colleagues? Is it getting difficult to know which version of the attachment is the most up to date?
It can get really confusing if there are more than a few people involved or if you are perhaps spread across multiple locations. Rolling up to a meeting with a document that has already been updated can be really frustrating.
However, there is a better way. Technology has advanced way beyond email & attachments – that’s almost as old school as a blackboard!
Let's imagine a scenario in which all of your colleagues can look at the same file, at the same time and all work towards the same goal. Everyone gets the same update, at the same time, with no outdated versions to worry about. All before the meeting starts. How easy would that be?
It's actually not that hard. The best ways to bring your team together and have everyone on the same page is to find a solution that allows instant, real-time collaboration. and your Office 365 subscription has one, already built in. Introducing Microsoft Teams. Available on phone, tablet desktop or Mac. And it's free as a part of your subscription.
Microsoft Teams give you the ability to create a single, or several teams. You choose who to add to each team, then it's simple to schedule & conduct video meetings, real-time chat, share files and stay updated. As a part of our "getting more from your Office 365" series, we will be exploring how you can get this happening - because it's already there!

Microsoft Office is a great product, and one that most of us have used at some stage. But with the coming of Office 365, there are now multiple ways to have Office on your computer.
Office 365 can be purchased from almost anywhere. But, once purchased, who advises you on what you're using, and more importantly, how you're using it? Who do you trust to recommend and manage the changes?
Now that you have found a provider that’s willing to help, it’s time to get started. The important steps are figuring out just who needs what, installation, setup, familiarization, and training. Getting your people used to Office 365 and all it can do doesn’t take long, but it is important.
