In this time of uncertainty many businesses are still struggling to successfully adapt to working remotely. The good news is there are tools available that many of you already have in place as part of your Office 365 subscriptions. Microsoft Teams and Bookings are two often overlooked Microsoft applications included with Office 365. These applications can help manage communications and operations while maintaining safe distances via Video Conferencing, Chat and scheduling. OneDrive and SharePoint can be used for file sharing and collaboration. These tools are not only great for the issues we’re dealing with today but are great productivity tools when we come out on the other side.
