Microsoft Viva Heralds New Wave of Collaboration Tools
With so many workers at home full time, collaboration apps like Zoom, Slack, and Microsoft Teams have become a virtual substitute for the office, but without the balance. Now they are about to get better.
Video conferencing, group chat, and other collaboration software tools were never intended to be the main channels for workforce collaboration. When everyone worked in the same office, these tools augmented in-person collaboration. They were a backup. You could still go down the hall and talk to your colleague in person or eat lunch together in the kitchen.
