The Microsoft Office package, which includes the programs Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, is now a well-known name in the active Netherlands. After the introduction in 1989 of the first version of Office as a software bundle, several new Office applications have been added and disappeared and a new Office version was released every few years. This was installed on the employee's PC, first with floppy disks and later from CD or DVD.

Competition with Google Apps

In 2015, Microsoft made a big step with the launch of Office 365, now Microsoft 365: office software in the cloud. The software maker thus competed with, for example, Google Apps. And this is not without success, because more and more companies are exchanging the use of their traditional Office packages for the cloud-based version and Microsoft is now the global market leader in the office software in the cloud with Microsoft Development Firm

More than a bundle of office software

Teams, more than telephony of the future

What started as a text and video chat program in 2003, has developed into a complete communication platform for the business market after its acquisition by Microsoft in 2011. With Teams, Microsoft introduces the telephony of tomorrow, including Voice Over IP (VoIP) calling, sending text or video messages, making group calls and video conferencing. Teams is compatible with Windows, Android and iOS.

Work more productively with Teams

Teams can rightly be called the telephony of the future. But that actually does us a disservice. Because of the integration with other Microsoft programs, Teams offers considerably more functionality. The business version of Teams includes a total package with which companies and institutions not only communicate better, but employees can also work together more efficiently and productively.

Integrating teams with Office applications

The integration of Teams with Outlook, Word and the other Microsoft Office applications makes the application possibilities almost endless. From sharing files or collaborating on one document with each other or with relations, to seeing at a glance which of the colleagues are available or not. In addition, users can switch effortlessly between PC, tablet, smartphone and desk device.

Make Teams a success for your business

Teams enables a new and efficient way of working. But it also means a different way of working. However, don't let cold feet stop you from getting acquainted with Teams. Clear Mind IT Consultancy's ICT consultants not only come to the table with a large amount of technical knowledge, but are also discussion partners for behavioral and cultural changes that are necessary to make Teams a success for your business.
