Overview

April 1

Communication and collaboration tools have become the lifeline for remote work during the pandemic. For many organizations, that has meant deploying Microsoft Teams: The comprehensive collaboration platform surged from 20 million daily active users in November 2019 to 115 million by October 2020.

While Teams is helping organizations stay agile and resilient in the new work-from-home era, the pandemic ultimately forced many knee-jerk reactions and rushed deployments. There were many configuration decisions made without a full knowledge or understanding of what the platform truly entails on the backend.

To help public-sector organizations optimize their use of Teams, Government Technology is partnering with Quest to produce a special webinar on the biggest mistakes that tend to arise from a rushed Teams deployment – and how your own team can make the best use of the platform.

Join us April 1 at 11am PT/2pm ET for an info-packed half hour!
