What’s new in Microsoft 365
We are no strangers to technology. During the last decade, it became the standardized way to connect with people. In the chaotic events of 2020, Microsoft 365 came to unify teams, improve collaboration, and optimize communication in tough times. In fact, during the lockdown era, almost two billion global frontline workers and 90% of organizations faced the immense challenge of maintaining operations. Then and now, Microsoft 365 upgrades not only let organizations maintain their duties, but also enable productivity and boost efficiency.
As we know, hybrid modalities will play a key role soon. Microsoft 365 solutions and its new upgrades can help you find the perfect balance and meet the needs of both people working in person and remote workers.
Empowering frontline workers with Microsoft 365
The true heroes of this era are frontline workers. Not only did they help the economy remain afloat and communities resist the pandemic, but also while bearing health risks, supply chain issues, and labor shortages. That’s why Microsoft developed modern technologies that will allow workers to prosper during these changing times.
- Microsoft Viva Connections in Microsoft Teams, included in Microsoft 365 plans with SharePoint, keeps everyone in the team connected, informed, and engaged in the everyday labor. These interactions consist of fast and easy access to any company data, all in one place.
- To enhance communication within frontline workers, Microsoft, with a stupendous partnership with Zebra, developed a new Walkie Talkie app in Microsoft Teams, with availability on any iOS device.
- Deliver your workers’ schedule seamlessly with the new Teams’ integration with Reflexis Workforce Scheduler (RWS).
