Microsoft Teams now available to Office 365 users

The product aims to enable customers to collaborate within their organisations. Since announcing the preview in November, more than 50,000 organisations have started using Microsoft Teams.

“In a world where information is abundant and human time and attention remain scarce, we aspire to help people and groups of people be more productive, wherever they are,” said Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft. “Today we are adding a new tool to Office 365 with Microsoft Teams, a chat-based workspace designed to empower the art of teams.”
