In this, our second blog, we will cover how Proventeq can help you transition to Teams and why your business should consider doing so.
Teams is Part of the “New Normal”
In the world of the “new normal” Microsoft Teams has taken the world by storm. It is estimated that the platform now has over 75 million daily active users and that number is growing by the day. To survive the global COVID-19 pandemic businesses have been forced to make changes that allow their employees to work from home and Teams has been a huge enabler of this.
To get the most out of Teams, organizations need to be on Microsoft 365, and that is where Proventeq can come in. We can help to make the move to Teams easier and provide your organization and employees with a smooth transition to Microsoft Teams.
The Evolution of Microsoft Teams
Around the world, with so many impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, the way we work has been affected along with how we socialize and how we interact with our families. Tens of thousands of employees worldwide suddenly had to work at home remotely.
Teams facilitated this transition, for example, a Professor at the University of Bologna in Italy shared on Twitter how the school moved 90% of it is curriculum to Teams within four days. Doctors at St. Luke’s University Health Network in Pennsylvania used teams for videoconferencing with patients (and this was replicated in other healthcare settings all over the world) as a way of protecting them against contracting COVID-19. Also, the city of Osaka in Japan began to use Teams to conduct onboarding and training for hundreds of new incoming employees.
Scenes like this played out in countries all over the world. Teams saw an unprecedented spike in usage, and it is not surprising as to why. Thousands of organizations, small and large, have discovered how teams can be their hub for teamwork, helping them to stay connected and engaged.
The sudden globe-spanning move to work from home remotely has been a turning point in how we work and learn. Solutions that enable remote working such as chat, video calls and file collaboration have become crucial to the way we now work. Microsoft has reported an unprecedented spike in Teams usage, and now have more than 75 million daily users, a figure that has grown by 12 million in just the last few months. Those users have generated over 900 million meeting and calling minutes on Teams, and this number is still growing.
Who is Using Teams Around the World?
Many industry leading organisations are rolling Teams out across their enterprise. Some large organisations have over 100,000 of their employees using Teams, including the likes of Ernst & Young, SAP, Pfizer, and Continental AG, as well as Accenture, which has 440,000 employees actively using Teams. While your organisation may not be using it on quite the same scale, you can enjoy all the same features and benefits of Teams.
