Teams is a major step forward for Microsoft and for us as inhabitants of a Microsoft-centric ecosystem. It's more than Microsoft's bid to compete with Slack, a similar application launched in 2013. It fills an important gap in Microsoft's product line, combining the power of familiar Microsoft Office tools for facilitating personal productivity with power of SharePoint for facilitating file. providing and what has been confusing about their recent attempts to support collaboration and teamwork in today's workplace. While Microsoft wants Office to evolve into something more than the Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Excel programs installed on our laptops, their vision for this new productivity ecosystem, what they are calling Office 365, and their justification for why we all need to live there, have been unclear. Many are aware of tools like SharePoint, Skype for Business, and OneDrive, but have struggled to integrate them into their Office-enabled routines and have found that the benefits don't surpass the costs by a wide enough margin to justify changing their ways. With Teams, Microsoft is finally bringing this into focus.
