The CRN Test Center offers a primer on Microsoft’s new workplace collaboration app in Office 365.
No ‘I’ In Team
Microsoft is looking to bolster its collaboration game with the debut of a new app for Office 365, Microsoft Teams. The app, which Microsoft is describing as a “chat-based workspace,” aims to provide easier group communication (like Slack) while also hosting online meetings and integrating with other apps (both from Microsoft and outside vendors). First unveiled in November, and with 50,000 organizations having used it so far, Microsoft Teams is now generally available as part of Office 365.
