Microsoft Office 365 Teams is a chat-based collaboration space that allows a group of people to communicate and organize information in a single area. It creates a central location to work on projects, saving users time, and enhancing productivity. It integrates with other Microsoft and third-party services, including PowerPoint, OneNote, and SharePoint. Each team gets a SharePoint site collection and a group. Another handy feature is that content collaboration, chats, calls, and meetings can all be hosted in the app. Information that would be lost in emails is saved in discussions, which makes finding information and auditing much easier. This data is stored in the cloud, so people can work together wherever they are.
