Microsoft Teams in Office 365 vs. WhatsApp

If you are presently using WhatsApp with your employees and customers you could be putting your business in a needlessly compromising position.

Microsoft Teams in Office 365 can help.

WhatsApp is a consumer service platform that lacks built-in capabilities that you and your employees need in order to work together, securely.

To achieve this goal, you are required to use multiple point solutions that you must integrate and support.
Microsoft Teams is the hub for teamwork in Office 365 that integrates people, content, and tools that your team needs to be more engaged and effective.

When you use Office 365 to share information with co-workers, customers and suppliers you control your data. Microsoft does not mine your data for advertising purposes. Office 365 takes security and compliance to the next level by helping you control data security and lower compliance costs.
