Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams offers a four-in-one solution, giving you the ability to chat, meet, call, and collaborate from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. You’ll never feel the weight of working from home – it’ll feel like your employees and coworkers are easier to reach than ever before.

Chat with coworkers – sending gifs and other fun stickers to group chats or one-on-one messages. Then, with just a press of a button, you can host or join a meeting in seconds. Meet with teams of 10 or 10,000 – Microsoft Teams makes any-sized sessions run smoothly.

With a Microsoft Calling Plan or Direct Routing, you can have employee phone numbers set up with the system so that there isn’t any stress or confusion over how to join the meeting – or over who has just hopped onto the call.

Bring the presentation or item at hand directly into the meeting! Present and share Word and Excel documents and PowerPoints all from within the same system – creating a simplified way of bringing essential content to every video conference.

Zoom Features

Zoom’s popularity has soared to new heights recently, and with good reason. Zoom provides an easy, accessible way to communicate with every employee all at once or individually. With different plans to choose from, you can start out with a “Basic” account and upgrade to a “Business” or “Enterprise” one if you see fit.

Simply send a Zoom link to your employees for a one-click way to join a video call. Zoom lets you chat with employees during a meeting, share your screen, or incorporate smart whiteboard technology – taking your presentations and calls to a new level.

Not only does Zoom provide incredible solutions for remote workspaces – but when your offices return to normal operations, Zoom Rooms are the perfect boardroom setups for your company. Zoom-enabled conference rooms will have the right products to help schedule meetings, set up for a meeting of any type, and communicate via video conferencing with zero hassle.

Both Zoom and Microsoft Teams can help make this time for your company a much less-stressful transition – and elevate your entire company upon return to the standard way of running things.
