Over the last few months adoption of Office 365 has moved from e-mail to Teams (there are currently 115 million active users!) but there’s so much more available to you. Working with our clients we’ve identified several ways to connect all of the different pieces of Office 365 and have created some technology to make it easier.
In this session we dive into how you can make a good first impression when onboarding remote staff, keep productivity up, and take advantage of features you already own.
We cover features like:
- Reminders – Used for User Onboarding and infrequent corporate wide actions that need to be taken and tracked. Integrates SharePoint or Microsoft Teams and planner (see Onboarding blog).
- My Radar – A single location to see associated content for one or many projects in one place, from Outlook, SharePoint, Teams, Planner, To Do and DevOps.
- My News – Central communication, personalized for your team members, in the time of remote work.

While remote work has been growing about 40% every 5 years the pandemic put us in a situation that was not expected. Teams is not the only tool, but I think this graph shows the need that was satisfied by a system that already existed. From about 32 million to 115 million daily active users over a 7 month period. Is Teams the same as it was in March?
