Microsoft Office 365 Teams
Tuesday, April 18, 2017 at 9:42AM Microsoft Teams is upon Office 365 Groups and provides an automated/easy method of accessing shared assets for an Office 365 Group. Microsoft describes it as “the best solution for persistent chat among group/team members.”
Office 365 Groups is a service that provides cross-application membership for a set of shared team assets, like a SharePoint site or a Power BI dashboard, so that the team can collaborate effectively and securely.
Microsoft Teams is available in the following Office 365 commercial suites: Office 365 Business Essentials, Office 365 Business Premium, and Office 365 Enterprise E1, E3, and E5 plans. Microsoft Teams is also available to existing Office 365 Enterprise E4 customers who purchased E4 before its retirement.
Microsoft Teams is available in all Office 365 Education suite licensing: Office 365 Education, Office 365 Education Plus, and Office 365 Education E5, as well as existing Office 365 Education E3 customers who purchased E3 prior to its retirement.
We have been testing it internally for several different group functions to see how it works and if it has a place in our communications. Time will tell.
