Microsoft Ties New Viva Employee Experience Platform to Teams
Microsoft Viva could make Teams more “sticky” but disruptive to some ecosystem partners. Microsoft has created an employee experience platform (EXP) that extends Teams into a unified workforce engagement and information access tool. The new Microsoft Viva addresses the rise in remote employees and distributed workplaces, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Scott Gode, chief product marketing officer of managed service provider Unify Square, said Viva is poised to boost Teams’ appeal.
