Remote working is not new to any of us anymore. It’s simply the way things are and how the world works. And because we’re all remote, we understand the importance of being connected to your coworkers and working together in the most productive way. We feel like Microsoft Teams does the best job at this, plus it sweetens the deal by offering majorly discounted licensing for 501c3 organizations, which is great news for churches!

A common issue that we’ve seen among our clients is best practices for communicating with larger groups of people. Often, there are simple and efficient solutions for these types of common problems, so today we want to share a quick tip that you can implement today to simplify communicating with your team.

The Cloud is a concept that is integral to today’s online world, especially in the realm of remote work, file storage and access, and the secure backup of data.

Microsoft Teams is a one-stop-shop for groups to collaborate easily and efficiently, and it has become an especially helpful tool right now during the global pandemic when many churches and staff are still working remotely. One awesome feature we want to highlight today is Teams Calling.

In this webinar we explored how one church in Texas is effectively using Teams to engage their volunteers, and show you how you can, too! It is an incredibly powerful and helpful tool for any organization, and we have found it to be an especially good fit for churches!

Virtual meetings offer tons of benefits for meeting together in situations that prevent in-person interaction, and as a company with multiple offices and locations, Enable has been using this option for years! Depending on the size of your staff, an all-staff in-person meeting might sound like an ordeal to organize, but using a virtual option makes this very easy!

Microsoft Teams is a platform that Enable and our clients have found invaluable to a functioning work environment for remote collaboration. The recent situation surrounding the spread of COVID-19 and the associated impacts to working environments means that church teams need resources to communicate with one another remotely.
