Chat, meetings, calls and files in one connected workspace β set up, supported and tuned to how your business actually works, by SPS.
Introduction
Microsoft 365 Teams is a dynamic collaboration platform designed to bring people, conversations, and content together in one unified space. Originally released by Microsoft in March 2017 as part of Office 365, it has grown into one of the most essential tools for modern workplaces.
It enables seamless communication and collaboration through chat, video conferencing, file sharing, and integration with other Microsoft and third-party tools.
Why it matters
Teams is a digital workspace that brings together people, tools, and workflows to help teams work smarter. Whether your team is in the office, remote, or hybrid, Teams keeps everyone connected and productive β on Windows, Mac, or mobile.
As an integrated communication platform, Teams handles text, video and voice, and connects with Skype, SharePoint and other Microsoft 365 apps so your team never has to leave the flow of work.
What you can do
Microsoft Teams brings communication and collaboration together β here's what that looks like day to day.
Send text messages through the app or via email, so nothing gets lost between channels.
Video chat with people in real time from your browser or mobile device, wherever they're working.
Communicate over voice calls without switching to a separate phone system.
Share and co-author documents and data together, with everyone seeing the same live version.
Share your screen with anyone who needs to see it, even if they aren't part of the meeting.
Connect with SharePoint, OneDrive, Outlook, Planner and other software your team already relies on.
Built-in integration
Teams' biggest strength is how tightly it connects to the apps your business already runs on.
Teams automatically creates a SharePoint site for each team, giving everyone a centralised space to store and organise shared files.
Files shared in chats or meetings are stored securely in OneDrive, ready for easy access and collaboration.
Assign tasks and track progress directly inside the Teams interface, without switching apps.
In practice
Teams isn't limited to messaging and meetings β many businesses lean on it as a broader platform.
Project management platform β using integrations like Microsoft Planner or third-party apps such as Trello and Asana to plan and track work.
File repository β every document is easily searchable and securely stored, with no separate system to maintain.
CRM platform β thanks to integrations with tools like Dynamics 365 or Salesforce, kept in the same place your team communicates.
Better teamwork, anywhere β share your screen, host virtual meetings with people inside or outside your organisation, and set up dedicated channels per project, department or interest. Because Teams is cloud-based, conversations and data stay up to date no matter where you are.
