As an IT Associate at TechHub Services, I had an opportunity to lead the integration of Microsoft Teams with Office365 for one of our clients, a fast-growing start-up. They had been using the two platforms independently, causing a lot of redundancy and inefficiency.
Firstly, I integrated Office365 Groups with Teams, and established Teams as the primary platform for group communication. Next, we connected Teams to their SharePoint Online to centralize document management. We also linked planner in Teams to hold tasks, making everything accessible in one place.
The main challenge was ensuring a smooth transition and minimal disruptions. To overcome this, I conducted several training sessions and provided comprehensive user guides prior to deployment.
After implementation, we noticed a significant decrease in redundancy, and an increase in effective team collaboration. Our client cited increased productivity and improved project turnaround times as key benefits.
