• #8: [This is an animated slide. Please show it in presentation mode] [MAIN POINT TO LAND] Microsoft Teams is a hub for teamwork, a chat-based workspace that enables teams to be more productive by giving them a single and secure location that brings together everything a team needs: chats, meetings, calls, files, and tools. Microsoft Teams is one place for all the needs your teams have.   Microsoft Teams delivers on four core promises to create a digital workspace for high performing teams. [COMMUNICATE] First, Microsoft Teams solves for the communication needs of a diverse workforce. Since preview, Microsoft Teams has evolved to a complete meetings and calling solution, incl. chat, voice and video, as we have completed our roadmap for bringing Skype for Business Online features and functionality into Teams. You can use Teams for informal 1:1 or group chats – directly on your phone if you’re on the go. Or you can have an open conversation in a channel. This enables people to share information in a transparent way to accelerate decision making. And it's super easy to move from a chat into a face to face meeting, helping you to bridge geographical barriers.   [COLLABORATE] When it comes to collaboration, the deep Office integration enables today’s multigenerational workforce to use the Office apps they are familiar with and love - Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint, Planner, even Power BI - right within the context of Teams. You can avoid email attachments and having to search for the latest version of a document. Teams brings all the Office 365 services together – so that you can easily share and co-author files.   [CUSTOMIZE] Many of you use other services than Office 365 as well which results in you having to jump between and spend time in disparate experiences. We built Teams to be the hub for all the services and tools your teams use on a day to day basis. So, you can customize Teams with tabs, connector and bots to include the apps and services you need - <mention relevant 3rd party apps like GitHub and Trello>. We have also created an extensible platform, to enable building apps and to integrate with business processes. And for Firstline workers, Teams provides an additional set of capabilities including schedule management.    [WORK WITH CONFIDENCE] Microsoft Teams comes with the enterprise grade security, compliance and manageability that you expect from Office 365 which customers tell us is a huge value add for them. ------ And that product is Microsoft Teams. And back to that Satya quote we shared earlier about Microsoft as a platform company, Core to the value of Teams is also the platform that it’s built upon. (click slide to build) which enables you to customize & extend your experience. Today, we will discuss how to unleash the real power of Teams to and create experiences that help solve the communication challenges we mentioned earlier, and deliver experiences that most organizations have only dreamt about.   Now, why is a platform important? Because while every team is unique, one thing that is consistent is that every team will need a variety of apps and tools to get their work done. Since there is no such thing as a universal tool for work, the extensibility of the Teams platform delivers a universal hub for teamwork to infuse all those tools, together.   Let us show you what we mean by infusing your tools, together.
• #9: (first slide build is auto) So one of the beauties of Microsoft Teams is that Teams really is the hub for where people get work done and so they want to make sure that all the tools they need are a part of Teams. So they don’t have to change contacts and we think of this as two different types of applications. The first part of customizing and extending Teams is bringing together all the Microsoft Office applications you know and love, allowing you to reduce context switching and create conversations around content. (click to build) The second part of this infusion of tools is where we bring together all the other apps and services you need every day to get your job done, whether or not Microsoft built them. Our Teams store currently has over 250 of our partner applications and integrations available today, and growing. Just to clarify the point, these first two layers here are ready to use applications available for you As soon as you download Teams, should your IT admins make them available to you. (click slide to build) Finally, this is where things get interesting. Microsoft Teams also gives you the ability to extend Your experience to leverage the apps and services that your organization has built for you. The tools you need to leverage every day as an employee to get work done and as part of your role. We call these line of business applications. Now, when you look at this picture, it’s exciting. Imagine a day where all your applications (click to build slide) not only show up in one single UI, but also work better together, allowing you to stay in the flow of your work. That day is here and it’s time to deliver your people the modern workplace they deserve And make their apps work for them
