"Business owners have told us that while Microsoft Teams comes at no additional cost for Microsoft Office 365 customers, investing in staff training on the platform maximizes the success of Teams as a meeting and collaboration hub," said Mike Ammerlaan, Director, Microsoft Office 365 Ecosystem at Microsoft Corp.
