Simplifying digital transformation for SMEs
In a survey with Stitch DX, we found that 63% of businesses use Microsoft Teams as their primary collaboration tool. Microsoft Teams has seen a meteoric rise and is now adopted by over 145 million users worldwide. It’s established itself as a hub of daily life that centralizes the uses of Microsoft 365.
At Powell Software, we wanted to leverage the power of Microsoft Teams to help SMEs overcome their challenges. So, we developed Together, the small business intranet in Teams, that meets your businesses’ productivity, communication, and collaboration needs.
Bringing Together communication and collaboration
Together is simply an all-in-one space that meets the needs of employees and businesses in an intuitive and social interface. Both a true corporate intranet and Microsoft Teams, Together leverages both modes of information sharing: structured communication in the intranet, spontaneity, and collaboration in Teams.
Together helps companies promote company culture and social interaction where employees want it: in Teams. You no longer need to guess where to post the latest company news; the intranet or Teams? Now, the two are linked with Together. Easily interact and really engaging employees by sharing and reacting to company news and events!
It is also ready-to-use thanks to a predefined and pre-configured template with the essential pages of a corporate intranet enhanced with Powell Software’s exclusive content: desk reservation tool, virtual coffee break, and virtual water cooler. The essentials for hybrid working.
