Microsoft Teams integration enhances productivity, reduces technology spend

Appspace, a leading provider of workplace experience software, will further help organizations improve collaboration and generate cost savings with a recent enhancement to its  Appspace for Microsoft offering. 

With the newly launched Appspace app for Microsoft Teams, Appspace for Microsoft now allows organizations to embed the Appspace employee app functionality and other Appspace features into the Teams desktop or mobile app. This means employees using the app can access and manage essential workplace functions like checking their companies’ newsfeeds, reserving workspaces, and inviting visitors to their offices - all from the Appspace app for Teams. Employees also can receive critical company communications like HR announcements or office closings - all within the same app. 

The enhancement extends the functionality of Appspace for Microsoft, launched last year, to deliver a seamless workplace experience for employees, whether they are working in-person, hybrid, or remotely. The Appspace App for Microsoft Teams will further help organizations generate cost savings and productivity by reducing the number of point solutions required for their workplace management needs. 

Thomas Philippart de Foy, Chief Innovation Officer at Appspace says, “Appspace continues to simplify and elevate the workplace experience by strengthening Appspace for Microsoft. With this important Microsoft Teams integration, we help organizations increase adoption of employee app tools and create beneficial digital experiences that build connections across departments, offices, and geographies.”

The 2023 Gartner® Market Guide for Workplace Experience Applications states, “improving the employee workplace experience is the Number 1 priority for 67% of corporate real estate leaders who are increasingly working with the digital workplace team to optimize the hybrid experience.”

“Our collaboration with Appspace brings seamless employee corporate communications and workspace scheduling into the everyday Microsoft Teams experience,” said Ben Summers, director, Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365 Platform Marketing. “Through this integration, the Appspace app for Microsoft Teams delivers immediate value to our joint customers and makes it easier for them to reach their employee engagement goals.”
