Virtualize Collaboration with Microsoft Teams
Work from anywhere on any device in a unified organized manner so your teams perform better together. Microsoft Teams is a collaboration app enabling teams to collaborate, host virtual meetings and share documents in real-time.
A coherent and standardized collaboration and communication process is essential to organizations of all sizes and across an industry. One of the ways that organizations can ensure their business collaborates optimally is by using a platform that allows for a combination of communication methods. Teams does just this.
Teams is designed to simplify group work with easy-to-use channels for group chats, enabling users to work faster, smarter, and better together. Teams is also designed with a simple and intuitive user interface, making it easy to learn so users can concentrate on performing their jobs more effectively.
Collaborate with Microsoft Teams to achieve better together in the following areas:
- Question style chats for quick answers
- Effortless scheduling and video calls
- API’s and seamless integration tools
- Built in security, compliance and manageability of documents
Additionally, Teams is included in your Office 365 subscription and is a great way to get employees to move away from the more traditional email threads and multiple attachments and become more comfortable with streamlined collaboration.
Enable Fully Embedded Electronic Signature Experiences Using Verdocs
Verdocs, available in Microsoft’s AppSource and Teams App Store, enables the first fully embeddable eSignature experience within Microsoft’s Commercial Cloud.
- Control the eSigning lifecycle (build, send, manage) all within Microsoft Teams
- Build eSignature-enabled Power Apps and configure simple or complex workflows with Verdocs’ Premium Power Automate connectors
- Integrate Verdocs seamlessly within SharePoint, OneDrive, and (coming soon!) Outlook
- Deploy powerful eSignature experiences within your Dynamics 365 ERP, CRM, and Field Service applications to accelerate document workflows
Enable efficient workflow automation, and deliver better experiences – for example:
- Get out of sending redlined documents back and forth in email – and into a secure document collaboration governed by stateflow and routing engines
- Create, manage, and utilize standard templates – including templates that are populated from various systems – which is difficult to automate using siloed and costlier eSig platforms
- Employ events-based automation (like sending a standard contract after changing a CRM Opportunity status; or update an Opportunity status to Won after a contract is signed)
- Visibility into document or workflow status
- Easily incorporate AI into your workflows – analyzing both content “at rest” as well as content “in motion” – for example canceling an eSig session if the materials about to be signed contain certain values or verbiage
