Collaborate, Communicate and Work Together from Anywhere
Many features within the Microsoft applications suite are designed to allow users to collaborate, communicate and work together. As all traditional office applications have moved to the cloud, it means that multiple users can work on the same document in real-time, on any device. The advent of hybrid work has shown how important remote collaboration is for all businesses.
Another hybrid work challenge is communication whilst employees work in different locations. This is easily solved with the implementation of Teams. With Teams, employees can meet, chat, call and collaborate all in a single application. For many businesses this has negated the need for office phone systems, as Teams is a fully functional unified communications platform. As the modern workplace has evolved over the past two years, Microsoft has consistently updated its product set to make the change as seamless as possible.
Productivity Galore
The office applications within the Microsoft 365 suite of applications are designed to increase productivity, however Microsoft has also included other productivity applications, such as Planner, Whiteboard and Lists.
Microsoft Planner is a visual task management solution that organises teamwork and increases productivity. In Planner users can create Kanban boards with content rich cards including files, checklists, and labels.
Microsoft Whiteboard is an infinite virtual whiteboard designed for effective meetings and engaging learning. It is now built into Teams, allowing multiple users to write on the whiteboard for brainstorming and group planning.
Microsoft Lists is technically a software designed to create lists but is so much more than that. Lists allows users and teams to easily track information and organise their work. A key Lists feature is the ability to start a list based off a pre-built template. Some of these templates include issue trackers, event itineraries, asset tracking, project planner and social media calendars.
