Ready or not, Microsoft Teams is changing the way we work. Launched last year, Teams integrates seamlessly with existing Microsoft applications and other third-party services, and is quickly becoming the go-to option for many organisations. But why is it so popular, and is your business ready to embrace it?
To guide you through this, GCI are hosting an informative roundtable session in partnership with Microsoft. Designed to showcase the great capabilities of Teams, we’ll provide you with interactive demonstrations and education on the next steps you can take towards a successful implementation of Teams in your organisation. We’ll explore both the technical and user adoption challenges, showcasing how you can overcome them as well as the tools and applications that can complement your transition. You’ll also hear from Microsoft’s Senior Technical Architect, Karl Kocar, who will outline their future plans for Teams to enable you to further plan your strategy.
What you get at our exclusive event:
- Demonstrations of how Microsoft Teams improves engagement, productivity and collaboration, and how it harnesses the power of other Office 365 apps
