Here are five latest features and benefits of Microsoft Teams that you can utilize for a better cloud business performance:

• Better Chat filtration

This one much needed feature is our favorite. This facilitates users who are used to on-going multiple conversations at the same time which is quite a norm. With this feature, users are able to track conversations from various threads at the right time. Filter a chat by typing a name of the person and add more filter properties like unread messages, or some keywords to filter by group. There you have it, your required piece of information. Chat filtration is a major benefit amongst other benefits of Microsoft Teams to cloud users.

• Turn down the noise in channels

Notifications are really handy, but hey, they can be annoying at times. Microsoft Teams has got you covered in this aspect. Whenever you need to concentrate on work, you can simply set the notifications of conversations off of unnecessary conversations and stay notified for only the conversations you need the most.

• An improved Cloud Voicemail

There’s so much in the cloud voice mail feature to offer. Now, benefits of Microsoft Teams to users include users being able to directly transfer a call to their Cloud Voicemail. Moreover, direct access to configure calls is provided to cloud users like choosing the greeting language, configuring call answer rules, customizing the TTS for the standard greeting, customizing the greeting while you are away from office and even setting up when the out-of-office greeting shall be played.

• Reverse number look up, The new Caller ID

We are all familiar with Caller IDs. Teams has given it a new experience with a Reverse number lookup feature. There’s nothing better than answering a call while you know who’s on the other end and where the conversation must head to. In Teams, if a contact calls you, the name is displayed already but if a person (not a cloud user) calls you from their PSTN number, how can you tell his or her identity? Teams has an answer to that too. The system looks for PSTN Caller’s name on the basis of Azure Active Directory data and/or the Telco provided display name for a better user experience.

• Instantly join a meeting with Meet Now

For spontaneous meeting, that aren’t scheduled in advance, you don’t have to wait for invitation process. With a Meet Now option available in Teams, you can join a Meeting instantly without an invite and simply add people to it. This offers a simplified user experience.

Security Approaches

There are many approaches included in Teams for more secured operations.  One of them is team-wide and organization-wide two-factor authentication. Another is single sign-on through Active Directory. In Microsoft Teams Security aspects, the experts have made sure that the Data storage mechanism is equipped with Encryption of data at rest and also data that is in transit.

There are a few great additions to Teams is the Auditing and Reporting Feature, eDiscovery, mobile application management and chats and files management. The information protection Architecture for Microsoft Teams is a robust architecture which ensures Microsoft Teams security with a secured data flow between Exchange and SharePoint for Teams Files and Messages.

eDiscovery

eDiscovery is an important aspect of Teams. With eDiscovery, you can identify, collect and produce electronically stored information (ESI) when a request is received for any investigations needed for a law suit. A few capabilities are: preservation of information,  case management, export of Teams data and  search, analysis of chats, messages, meetings etc. in addition to this, a summary of all meetings is made available in eDiscovery for later use.

Data Location for Security

The location of Data is important for its security. In Teams, Data resides in geographic regions that are associated with Office 365. In this way, there’s no outage during a calamity. For example, if your data resides on the east coast and a storm is coming on the west coast, the data will be transferred from data centers at east coast to data centers at west coast, resulting in a smooth delivery of service and no interruptions during your business operations.

For a more secured data control, the privacy aspects are also quite reliable. The data stored in OneDrive and SharePoint Online resides there within the tenant and Microsoft has no access to uploaded content. Even email and documents aren’t scanned for non-service relates purposes.
