Enterprises moving to Office 365 cloud-based applications require a new approach to ensuring deployment success. Of course, your end-users should receive a fantastic application experience, whether with Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, etc. But when problems surface with slowness or call quality, the Microsoft Service Health Dashboard provides no visibility beyond their network - leaving IT admins in the dark. Today, I'll walk through a few critical Microsoft 365 use cases for monitoring purposes and how Exoprise Digital Experience Monitoring solutions can help.
Microsoft Teams is a cloud-based software within the Microsoft 365 application suite. The tool creates a highly collaborative and engaging environment with multiple organizational business units.

However, to ensure a great employee experience, IT must develop and execute Microsoft Teams monitoring use cases.
A recent Exoprise customer survey found that 60-70% of application problems occur within the enterprise environment or home network/ISP. So, if you need to resolve Teams call quality problems, it's best to investigate your network before you try and finger point to Microsoft.

The leap to remote work happened nearly overnight with the pandemic, and it’s clear that hybrid work and digital dexterity is the way of the future.

In 2022, more than 90% of midsize companies plan to implement a hybrid work structure. One of our customers practices this model and is always interested to know what new features can enhance the digital experience of their distributed workforce.
