Teams is one of those things I don't understand why companies use. Just why
Because it's bundled in their office subscriptions
Microsoft bundles all of their software in a way that makes it much more expensive to pick and choose which software you want from Microsoft and which one you would want from someone else. It's a very similar strategy to that of Adobe.
Because they needed a way to attempt to micromanage during COVID, and to do it ASAP.
I recently realized bosses have an existential fear of their employees being able to be productive without them. It makes their job unnecessary.
Teams has even an internal micromanager that reports to your boss how "productive" you have been (read, how fast you are typing in Office apps).
Do you have a source on this?
His arse, probably.
Almost certainly. If people saw how little I actually do on most days I wouldn't have a job. I just call myself then switch my status back to available so my dot stays green all day.
Because it's essentially free and hooks into the existing MS tools for data retention, data loss prevention, security monitoring, etc.
When I used to install collaboration systems, the main thing clients would tell me why they chose say a Logitech Rally with MS Teams over Cisco and WebEx was it's cheaper. With that said you can setup a Cisco Room Kit with Teams integration.
