So, in what ways does Microsoft Teams stand ahead of its rivals? Here are 7 benefits of Microsoft Teams and why businesses should start using it.
Enriched Communication
One of the key benefits of Microsoft Teams is threaded interaction. This allows sending group and private messages with threaded conversations, removing the need for a mail conversation. It helps you store brainstorming sessions, conference calls and other meetings in one easy-to-view place.
Here, users can create various channels to organize their communication by subject. To get your team member’s attention in a conversation, all you need to do is tagging, which saves you the hassles of switching between emails. Here you can also integrate Audio and Video chat, which speed up your communication between teammates.
Increased Collaboration and Productivity
It is time-consuming when you follow a traditional email approach to work on a project, where you have to wade through “high volumes” of unfiltered inboxes from different senders.
