Teams, the fastest-growing application in Microsoft’s history, has transformed the way work gets done.

Providing a single hub for communications and collaboration, Teams brings together many of the core functions of Microsoft 365. It incorporates messaging, file sharing, meetings, voice, devices, app platforms and more.

Many organizations seek to quickly deploy Microsoft Teams and drive user adoption. However, the right Microsoft Teams consulting partner can help you develop a strategic approach to implementing Teams not just quickly, but securely and effectively, too.

Without a targeted plan focused on deployment, governance and adoption, you can risk data sprawl, user resistance, and minimal productivity gains. With the right approach, you can realize a tremendous return on investment – as illustrated in Forrester’s study on  The Total Economic Impact of Microsoft Teams.

But successful Teams deployment is about more than the bottom line — it is also about winning the war on talent. In this video, Centric Consulting’s CEO Larry English explains why the future of work is remote, and why Microsoft Teams is an essential tool for attracting and retaining the best workforce.

CLIENT STORY

Improving Healthcare for the Homeless with Microsoft 365 and Teams

See how we helped Portland Street Medicine migrate its current platform, GSuite, to Microsoft 365 and to install and implement Teams throughout the organization.

Using Microsoft Teams to Improve Patient Care

Without permanent addresses or other documentation, it’s difficult to track our patient’s care over time and build supportive relationships with them. Centric Consulting gave us more capacity for real-time care coordination, teams that were better able to collaborate using Microsoft Teams chat, and different file-sharing capabilities.
