Collaborate smarter with Microsoft 365 and Teams

The digital development has forced companies to rethink the way they work. Good tools are therefore very important to be able to work more flexibly than before. Microsoft 365 gathers the most important tools needed to work effectively, securely, and mobile in the cloud.

Since the start of industrialization, employees in Norway have mostly adhered to a predictable work rhythm. The workday has begun at eight o'clock, ended at four, and often the commute has involved travel. Due to the pandemic that struck in 2020, this way of working has been turned upside down. Microsoft today describes the Microsoft 365 platform as the world's productivity cloud, featuring services that focus on the individual and make advanced artificial intelligence available to everyone.

A new way of working

For many years, email has been the dominant tool for corporate communication. For a long time, the tool has worked well, but with digitization and more complex tasks in businesses, the need for better collaboration tools has become essential. Since email communication with more than two people tends to become chaotic and unclear, the need for a tool that is better suited for the modern working method has been absolutely necessary. Thus, Microsoft created the Teams platform. The collaboration tool has gained momentum in recent years and now has around 13 million daily users of the platform.

A significant advantage of Teams, compared to other communication platforms based on chat, is how the integration with Microsoft 365 allows for seamless document sharing without having to leave the ongoing conversation.

After spending a long time working from home, we have become accustomed to sitting concentrated on a task and getting into a good flow. A simple method to help people maintain their flow is to ensure they have good training in tools like Microsoft Teams, and utilize features like “Do Not Disturb.” Take control of your workday and use your time productively on the tasks that need focus.

Work closer at a distance

Even if you are sitting in Oslo and the expert for a project you need to work on is in Trondheim, the distance is short with Microsoft 365. You can set up group projects with Microsoft Planner, create personal tasks and to-dos with Microsoft To-Do, or use Microsoft Lists to customize shared project plans and task lists. All of these programs are available in Teams, allowing you to review files, presentations, and plans together in a video meeting or a channel in Teams.

Increase productivity when you choose Microsoft

In summary, we recommend Microsoft 365 for your business. Your company will have access to familiar Office programs, everything is stored in the cloud, you can collaborate effectively across the organization, and your work is stored securely. Meeting times will decrease, there will be less business travel, and colleagues can work productively together no matter where and when.
