Editor's Notes
[This is an animated slide. Please show it in presentation mode]
[MAIN POINT TO LAND]
Teams is a chat-based workspace that brings together chat, meetings, calling, and Office 365, all-in-one. And it’s built on the trust of Microsoft security & compliance that’s crucial for today’s businesses.
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.

If your organization is already using Teams alongside Skype for Business, whether in Islands Mode, Skype for Business with Teams collaboration, or Skype for Business with Teams collaboration and meetings, you’re close to making the upgrade to a Teams Only, single-client experience.
Coexistence is the presence of both Skype for Business and Teams in the Journey from Skype for Business to Teams.
Supported coexistence configurations for Skype for Business and Teams
Skype for Business or Teams Only
Skype for Business and Teams – Islands
Combination (but no overlap) of functions across both
Customer deployments can involve multiple modes at different times

If you’re still planning your organization’s journey from Skype for Business to Teams, we’re here to help take the guesswork out of your upgrade journey. We’ve employed a proven success framework for driving change, incorporating guidance, tips, and resources throughout.

Your brain will be focused on the technical foundation. The governance.
Think through how do they currently work or use technology.
What are their needs – applications, how to communicate, to review learning material create (collaborate), to broadcast, to teach
What do people use, what have they learnt – focus then on Office 365. Consider metrics.
A key decision(s) to make are across your platforms or apps.
There are a number of ways the tasks or work within your environment can be completed with technology, but what applications should you utilise?
What are the user cases, technology available and reasons for one platform vs the other.
The reality is that your LMS and Teams have major crossover. Think through what functions or activity to drive into Teams and why.
Examples
Chat – simple communication, 1:1 or groups
Collaboration – creating learning material, OneNote, assignments, business operational roles
Announcements – broadcasting to all teachers
Surveys – Microsoft Forms
Faculty staff
Business Operations
Teachers – varying types (PE, music, maths etc)
Students
External - Volunteers? Parents?
What will the groups find challenging?
Some will pick up fast, some slow, how will you cater to this?
