Appspace, a workplace experience platform for communications and workplace management, has announced its integration with Microsoft Teams along with the launch of a Broadcasts feature, according to a press release.
The updates aim to enhance omnichannel and workplace messaging, including digital signage channels.
The Teams update integrates functionalities such as room booking, visitor management and desk reservation within the Teams app, and is part of a larger "Appspace for Microsoft" initiative.
"We launched Appspace for Microsoft last year to extend Microsoft capabilities and better connect the physical and digital workplace within the natural flow of work," says Thomas Philippart de Foy, chief innovation officer at Appspace. "Our seamless integration with Microsoft Teams further enhances productivity and communication whether employees work from home, in the office, or on the go. This one-of-a-kind integration demonstrates our single solution experience with Microsoft, while generating significant cost savings."
The Broadcasts feature integrates with IPTV providers and emergency alert systems to take over omnichannel messaging for critical alerts while also permitting omnichannel delivery of non-emergency content such as events and town halls (including via digital signage and Microsoft Teams).
"With the new way of working, organizations need to reach and connect with employees through all the channels people use every day — from texts to email," adds Philippart de Foy. "Appspace is the only company across both employee communications and workplace management capable of delivering instant or scheduled communication to everyone and every device, simplifying omnichannel communications strategies for organizations who want to engage with their entire workforces."
