These organizations and small businesses need to get up and running fast, and Teams Essentials makes it possible with no IT expertise necessary. Nonprofits, religious organizations, schools, and community groups also struggle to connect and collaborate effectively. The need for affordable communications tools isn’t limited to traditional for-profit small businesses.

“Communication is so important, and with Teams, we’re working together better than ever to provide patients with a standard of care that sets us apart.”-Rebecca Metcalfe, Senior Treatment Coordinator, Bristol Dental Specialists From virtual consultations to collaboration with colleagues, the Bristol team delivers faster, friendlier, and more cost-effective patient care with Teams. Take Bristol Dental Specialists, a United Kingdom-based practice that began using Teams last year. With Teams Essentials, small businesses from restaurants to retailers to professional services can easily meet, collaborate, communicate, and serve customers in new ways. Teams Essentials is built for small businesses And at only $4 USD per user per month, it’s the most affordable all-in-one solution in the market today. It brings together features small businesses need to serve customers, including unlimited group video calls for up to 30 hours, group chat, file sharing, and calendaring. It’s the first standalone offering of Microsoft Teams designed specifically with small businesses in mind. Today we’re excited to introduce Microsoft Teams Essentials. The world isn’t going back to the “old” way of working, so small businesses need solutions that are designed specifically for their unique needs to thrive in this new normal. They’ve had to adapt nearly every aspect of how they operate and work with customers, often without access to critical tools and technologies. While the past 20 months have been challenging for all organizations, I don’t know any that have been hit harder than small businesses.
