Many applications, different storage locations, various folders – who isn’t familiar with this? The constant search for the right documents can lead to a significant time expenditure in everyday work. Since its release, the use of Microsoft Teams has rapidly increased and has become the tool for effective communication within teams and across entire companies in a hybrid work environment. Following the swift introduction, challenges related to document management have become particularly apparent. With each team and file storage, another information silo is created, making it difficult to get a complete overview of all documents.
A document management system, or DMS, helps you by seamlessly integrating into your familiar work interface. Discover in the article how a DMS can optimise your structured work with documents and information in Microsoft Teams and minimise your search times through the appropriate display in the right context.
