Do I miss the internal email? The answer is a resounding NO. Usually when I receive an internal email, I don’t even reply via email, but I continue the conversation in Microsoft Teams instead. In the past year, the number of e-mails sent has been a minimum and then limited to responding to e-mails that I have received. When I wrote the article, I had, for a short time, made a complete conversion and more or less stopped sending internal emails. Just over a year ago I wrote the article “Why do you continue to send (and reply to) email?” Technology is our friend these days, but it is important, of course, to dare to use it and to use it properly. For me, it’s more or less Business as usual and the only thing I miss sometimes is meeting my clients and colleagues in real life. For some it works great and some feel it more cumbersome. It is now May in 2020 and spring has come to the Nordic countries.

Use the Yammer app to integrate relevant Yammer networks into different Teams.Use the new “Home Site App” app to link your Modern SharePoint Intranet to teams and get an overview of news, links, quality systems, handbooks, etc.Use Power BI to visualize your data in dashboards and reports.Build your own company-specific apps with integrations with your business systems with Power Platform and make these.Build workflows with the new “Power Automate app” in Teams.Here is a selection of some important building blocks that we can use to achieve this: With a little planning of how to put the whole thing together, you and your colleagues can actually soon perform all your daily activities without having to leave the Microsoft Teams interface to open additional systems.


It has really and finally become a workspace where you can make all your tools and all your information available in the right context. The toolbox grows and grows and I can, with a clear conscience, say that now we probably have everything (or at least most) we need in Microsoft Teams. I must say that it has never been so inspiring and exciting to work with collaboration solutions from Microsoft. Microsoft Ignite is in full swing with almost limitless amounts of information about news regarding improvements and new functionality we can soon expect to be served on our table.
