Cet été, Microsoft a lancé une petite bombe dans l’univers des messageries instantanées d’entreprise : sa plateforme Teams, intégrée à Office 365, attire 13 millions d’utilisateurs quotidiennement. Autre surprise, et de taille : Microsoft Teams est désormais plus populaire que son concurrent Slack.
In just two years, the communication tool in the Office 365 suite has managed to win over so many users that it has become the most important instant communication channel. If we look at the weekly usage of Teams, Microsoft announces 19 million users. In terms of structure volume, the platform is used by 500,000 companies in 181 markets.
Proud of this success, the Teams and Office 365 teams are not stopping there. Teams should soon be equipped with two new features: urgent notifications and information prioritization.
Urgent notifications take the form of short messages that are sent every two minutes to a computer or smartphone until they are acknowledged by the recipient. This is particularly useful in environments where urgency is important, such as in hospitals.
The second feature allows you to pin a message in a conversation so that it is always visible. Useful for information or best practices not to be missed.
Numerous tools in "addons
Au-delà des deux nouveautés qui apparaîtront d’ici la fin de l’année, Microsoft Teams compile de nombreux « addons », services tiers complémentaires. Aujourd’hui, Microsoft en recense 140. Trello ou Evernote côtoient les services Offices en ligne, les conférences vidéo et les espaces de stockage.
Dernière nouveauté : Teams va intégrer Kaizala, son outil de communication pour les entreprises décentralisées. Similaire à Whatsapp, Kaizala ne demande que peu de bande passante et fonctionne via les numéros de téléphone. Les fonctionnalités telles que les checklists, les questionnaires ou les formations sont prévus pour la fin 2019. Tout Kaizala migrera vers Microsoft Teams fin 2020.
By relying on its global package and the variety of integrated tools, Microsoft offers a Teams that promotes collaborative work. A true facilitator of exchanges, Teams allows everyone to work better together.
Training as a key to new markets
En 2019, Microsoft comptabilise 13 millions d’utilisateurs actifs sur Teams et 180 millions sur Office 365. Bien que le service de messagerie affiche un score tout à fait honorable, il reste encore de la marge pour les équipes Sales. Comment étendre l’utilisation de Microsoft Teams à tous les postes liés à un compte Office 365 ?
A training approach seems to be the most relevant response. Thanks to the support of the employees on the tool, its benefits are more appreciated since they are better envisaged. It is essential for companies to guide their teams in their learning process, otherwise two risks will appear: disinterest followed by non-use, but also security flaws.
Dans les entreprises qui utilisent déjà largement le concept de groupes pour le travail collaboratif, Teams ne sera qu’une formalité, ou presque. Ailleurs, l’accompagnement des collaborateurs permettra d’éviter un rejet de Micosoft Teams, qui poserait un problème organisationnel. Plus dangereux encore, une mauvaise utilisation entraînerait aussi des conséquences plus lourdes. Bien que Teams soit très sécurisé et qu’il communique régulièrement avec les administrateurs, les manipulations hasardeuses des utilisateurs peuvent provoquer des fuites, failles ou dangers pour l’ensemble de l’entreprise.
The learning phase is therefore essential. It is all the more important in large companies where there are many Office 365 users, uses and needs. With the help of an expert and educational contact, employees will be able to take full advantage of the benefits of the messaging solution.
With an integrated version with Office 365 and a free version, Teams has managed to establish itself in the professional field quickly.
With an in-depth and continuous work on the UX, Teams teams seek to create a fluid and modern tool that all users, whatever their structure, their operation or their needs, take in hand and use on a regular basis.
Along with the efforts on the interface, Microsoft will focus their work on Teams rather than Office 365 in their FY 2020 strategy. Announced at their annual conference in Las Vegas, Microsoft's news talks about creating a tool that can compete with the smartphone.
These changes promise great business opportunities. If you are already using Office 365, but not yet using Teams, get help! As a partner, we will integrate the tool into your environment and train your employees and administrators, and ensure the success of your approach.
