Over the past 6 months, organizations around the world have adjusted to remote and hybrid work, pioneering new methods of collaboration, and transforming communication systems to stay connected and productive. By working closely with our customers, we\u2019ve identified key requirements that define how you are using meeting and calling solutions and rethinking your costs to achieve long-term resiliency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we\u2019ve shared<\/a>, your organization\u2019s communication needs likely span a spectrum\u2014from the most basic 1:1 meetings and calls to group meetings to large virtual events and conferences. During the pandemic, organizations transformed rapidly moving meetings online and created hybrid workplaces. This environment confirmed the need for multiple ways to join online meetings. For example, participants who do not have reliable internet access to join Microsoft Teams meetings can use Audio Conferencing<\/a> to join via a dial-in number. Our customers increasingly need to host large scale virtual events ranging from internal town halls to customer events, and Teams can help with these, too. The new Advanced Communications<\/a> add-on enables large scale events, but also provides structure and admin control to achieve more professional, seamless, and compliant meeting experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To help our customers enable these scenarios and experience the best of what Microsoft Teams can offer in meetings and voice, we\u2019re announcing new promotional offers that deliver these experiences with significant cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New Microsoft Teams promotional offers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We are committed to helping organizations everywhere stay connected and productive as you navigate new ways of work.
