This complexity arises as people use different products and services to collaborate, with one app for messaging and perhaps a separate service for meetings, yet others for email, calendaring, and file sharing. Meeting room devices often sit on an island, unused or completely disconnected from other tools. These siloed experiences can greatly hamper productivity and performance. IT managers face the challenge of keeping track of every device and app in use, and ensuring that all shared information is secure and meets their compliance requirements. The result: User workflows get broken up and IT faces several challenges, from lowered return on investment to potential security breaches. The solution: For teams to maximize their productivity, effective team collaboration is critical. Having the right tools available for effective teamwork is hugely important. How it works: key features and components • Create spaces to keep work moving anytime: Bring everyone together easily and quickly in Webex Teams spaces. Enable everyone to see and share all the information they need to work together productively. Send messages, share files, and create or edit whiteboards, securely, with one person or a group of people. Use the Webex App Hub to easily integrate with other apps and streamline work. • Work inside and outside your company the same way: Add people to your shared spaces easily from your company directory. Or simply enter an email address and start teaming with customers, partners, or anyone else you need to work with. Everyone has a seamless experience for all their spaces, whether created internally or by external colleagues. No account switching or loss of context. Everything is always right in one place. • Enterprise-grade security: We keep your users and sensitive information safe, and provide extensive controls to help you configure and control your security policies. Protect messages, files, and whiteboard drawings with end to end encryption, right from your device. For added control, manage your own encryption keys on-premises. And we've taken the risk out of working with other companies. Your policies are in force even when your employees are collaborating with others outside your company, through integration with your chosen DLP solution. And we help you secure your devices, as well as protect your user identities and access. • Integrate with other tools for an uninterrupted workflow: Webex Teams delivers pre-built solutions with third-party applications from vendors such as Microsoft, Google Cloud, and Salesforce to deliver complete collaboration experiences. With Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Exchange, and Google Calendar integrations, you can view your meeting list right in Webex Teams, making it easy to stay on top of your upcoming appointments and join meetings with a single button push. New meetings are scheduled with ease, automatically including all the people you need and the join details. Further, users can share and edit files from Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint Online right in Webex Teams spaces, eliminating app switching and file sprawl. Other integrations can be set up using the Webex App Hub to connect your teamwork in Webex Teams with the work happening in other tools such as Service Now, Trello, Asana, Salesforce, and Jira. • Meetings built for teams: Use high-quality video meetings, screen sharing (with annotation), and white boarding seamlessly from any device to boost creativity and enhance decision making. Because everyone on a productive team participates, anyone can start a Webex Teams meeting. Democratized in-meeting tools, such as the ability to mute others, add guests, and turn on recording, help improve effectiveness and engagement. And the chats, files, and whiteboards shared during meetings can be easily reviewed by everyone later. • Interoperability for speed and convenience: In addition to the immersive experience delivered in the Webex Teams app and on Webex devices, meeting participants can join Webex team meetings from standards-based SIP video devices, right from their phones using a call-in number, or even Microsoft Skype for Business. And for meetings that happen outside of Webex, you can easily join any standards-based SIP-compliant meeting.
