By consolidating communication streams into
discrete threads, Microsoft Teams cuts down on the
quick-question emails users receive that often get lost in
the shuffle. Simple updates and clarifications take place
within the solution, so there's no need to monitor multiple
channels.
When set up and provisioned correctly, your users
can send documents safely and securely with confidence.
Microsoft Teams has rich security features embedded
in the solution, including two-factor authentication and
encryption of data in transit and at rest. Files stored in
Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft OneNote are backed
by their own encryption — so users can trust that their
data is in good hands inside Microsoft Teams.
Finding freedom and control with
Microsoft Teams
When legal organizations and their IT teams maintain
proper safeguards to protect data security and maintain
regulatory compliance, they can confidently promote
Microsoft Teams as a powerful and flexible tool for matter-
based collaboration, supporting teams in the ways they
prefer to work.
A solution that's purpose-built for Microsoft Teams
can support firms throughout the implementation, adoption,
and ongoing management of that solution, providing the
protocols and safeguards required to maintain data security
and ensure that teams are successful.
As firms move forward on implementing Microsoft
Teams, proactively managing risk becomes critically
important. Beyond data security and compliance
requirements, firms need a plan and documented protocols
in place to ensure a successful user rollout — which
requires tools that work seamlessly with Microsoft 365.
Solutions that integrate natively with Microsoft 365
provide the necessary protocols for data security and
regulatory compliance. By using Microsoft Teams, your
teams can streamline collaboration and work smarter by
enabling client-centered collaboration that wins business
and delivers successful matter outcomes. ILTA
