@openit Also seems MS do not have separate team/ dept. to handle MS Teams like they have for Yammer.

Yammer was a different company, so that stuff is legacy.

Bringing this thread back to life...

I just turned this on for my org. Is anyone using this yet? If so, what is the value add for this VS using something like Skype for Business for chat, Sharepoint for doc storage, etc?

We looked at it and found it lacking compared to Rocket.Chat, so just went with that.

@scottalanmiller There are so many new things from MS in the 365 suite that overlap. It's super annoying. Just fix what is in place instead of creating yet another new product to use. There are only so many ways to "collaborate" with people.

No kidding. Three or four IM systems? Maybe more. IM for O365 comes in the form of...

Skype
Skype for Business (Lync)
Yammer
Teams

And there might be more!

@scottalanmiller Exactly. We're evaluating team now, but we'll see. As far as document storage goes, I like SharePoint better than teams so far. It is one central place where all the docs can be. With teams, it looks like the documents are in their own individual "channels." Maybe I'm old school in my thinking, but I like everything in 1 place.
