With the current Coronavirus situation dominating our thoughts, like most businesses, you are probably focused on getting your workforce up and running in a home office environment.

The next challenge is making sure that your employees can work as effectively as possible and that their productivity is maintained as close to 100% as it can be.

Thankfully, Microsoft have a FREE TOOL which can help!

If you are using Office 365 in your business and your employees have either Business Essentials or Business Premium licences, then the Microsoft Teams application is available free of charge and is probably already downloaded on their PC/Laptop. If not, simply go to https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads and hit the ‘Download Teams’ button.

With Microsoft Teams all of your staff can chat with one another, make internal phone calls, see online presence, hold video meetings, check calendars, share files and generally collaborate with each other right now, with no additional licencing or complicated set up. It really is that simple and you don’t need to be an IT expert to set it all up.

There are many helpful online guides and YouTube tutorials to get you started, but below is a short two minute video explaining what Teams is all about and how you can get the most out of it. 

 Most importantly, the staff at Net Technical Solutions are here to help.

If you’re unsure whether you have the correct Office 365 user licences, or you’re struggling to find the correct tutorials online, or you’d like to explore taking Teams a step further and making external calls or you simply need help getting started - then please connect with your NTS Account Manager either by email or phone and we will do our very best to help.

For many of our customers this has already been a game-changer in terms of getting their new remote workforce communicating with each other as if they were in the office. We hope this also helps you to do the same.
