KITCHENER-WATERLOO, Ontario (PRWEB) July 10, 2019
Igloo Software, the leading provider of digital workplace solutions, announced today it will be providing a series of integrations and functionality enhancements with Microsoft Teams. The integration of Microsoft Teams with Igloo’s Digital Workplace platform builds on its existing Office 365 integrations and will unify corporate and team-level communication and collaboration to greatly enhance productivity by enabling organizations to finally deliver a single holistic digital destination for their employees.
“Microsoft and Igloo share the vision of improving the workplace experience and helping employees achieve more,” said Dan Latendre, Founder and CEO of Igloo Software. “Organizations around the world are plagued by duplicated initiatives, siloed conversations, and team productivity challenges. Microsoft Teams integration with Igloo is the latest in a series of innovative solutions and enhancements that we're bringing to market to solve these issues and surface information, files, and conversations in a much more user-friendly manner than was possible with legacy intranets. With this, we are delivering true collaboration in context.”
Phase one of the enhancements to Igloo’s Digital Workplace platform will extend Microsoft Teams functionality for users in the following areas:
Direct Messaging: From the Igloo personal profile page, profile card, and within activity streams, Igloo users can send direct messages to users of Microsoft Teams, facilitating deeper collaboration and communication across an organization.
Content Sharing: Content can also be shared bi-directionally between the Igloo Digital Workplace and Microsoft Teams channels, enhancing collaboration around content. For example, from within Igloo, users can select a channel in Microsoft Teams to directly share content and initiate conversations with specific Microsoft Teams users.
Personal Dashboard: From within Microsoft Teams, users can create a personalized dashboard showcasing corporate content, conversations, connections, and activity streams from within their corporate Igloo Digital Workplace.
Igloo, a Microsoft Gold-Certified Partner, will be at Microsoft Inspire from July 14 - 18, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
