Our employee (let’s call him Alan) must work closely with those within his department, but also must communicate with other employees throughout the company. In this blog, I’ll use a manufacturing and distribution company as an example to illuminate different aspects of the tools and of the overall solution.Įvery employee is part of a department which may also be part of a larger team. Microsoft 365 offers us at least a half dozen different applications and methods of communication and collaboration, so I understand anyone’s confusion when sitting down to determine what applications to use and when and where to use them. Fear not! Whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, or any other type of business there’s a template you can follow to transform the way your company communicates and collaborates. Microsoft has been busy at work building out and delivering new functionality in Teams, their self-proclaimed “hub for teamwork.” Have you checked out Microsoft Teams? Perhaps your company is curious about adopting it? At FMT, we’ve heard a lot of feedback on both sides of the spectrum around Teams: some people love it and want to integrate it into their daily workflow, while others haven’t had a good first experience or are a bit perplexed about how Teams fits into the bigger Microsoft 365 picture and into their collaborative workspace. How do you find the right blend of applications to communicate and collaborate using Microsoft Office 365?
