Staying Connected in a Remote Working World

A traditional working space is something we are all familiar with – a company has a set location where it sets up office, which is filled with employees working from their own spaces within the office. The traditional working space for most organisations may also include meeting rooms and collaboration spaces for employees to be able to host meetings and work together as a team.

Over time, the idea of what constitutes as a working space for employees has changed, as has the technology to support it. The requirement for employees to work externally from the office has grown drastically in recent times with more people working remotely. This has presented a multitude of challenges for organisations, such as the ability to communicate and collaborate, manage staff and maintain business continuity over dispersed locations, where face-to-face communication methods are unavailable.

Microsoft Teams offers its users an advanced technological solution to these challenges, while being designed in a clear manner with user experience in mind. While there are many benefits to making the switch to teams, some of the main benefits we find our customers enjoying including:

  • Productivity gains and enriched communication

  • Better focus on your work

  • Increased transparency and collaboration

  • Seamless move to one of the foundations for a digital workplace

  • New team members can more quickly get up to speed

  • Enabling staff to work remotely

While these benefits alone will greatly improve the ability for companies to successfully have their employees work remotely while the running of the business remain business as usual, Microsoft makes the decision to move your organisation to Teams even easier. Microsoft Teams is available, license free, for up to 300 people within organisations. This means, that up to 300 of your staff can enjoy:

  • Unlimited chat messages and search

  • Built-in audio and video calling for individuals

  • Groups and full team meetups

  • Integration with the rest of the Office 365 suite

  • The ability to communicate and collaborate with anyone inside or outside your organisation

  • A secure platform backed by Microsoft’s global infrastructure.

We are able to fully install and configure teams for your organisation, as well as help onboard your staff with one-on-one training and included reference guides for future questions.
