Special Report – Teams Governance: Emerging Better Practices

So you’ve got Teams… now what?

The use of Microsoft Teams (Teams) skyrocketed in 2020, largely due to the need to get staff working from home quickly and collaborating seamlessly. Microsoft reported a greater than 50% increase in Teams usage in the latter half of 2020. Furthermore, IBRS clients report that the rapid uptake of Teams during lockdowns has not abated as people return to work. The value of collaborative working environments has been fully demonstrated, and there is no turning back. In short, Teams is one of the platforms spearheading the introduction of deep collaboration.
