It\u2019s about sharing crucial knowledge quickly to keep work moving forward while also keeping everyone up to speed. We built Microsoft Teams as a place where customers could call, meet, chat, and collaborate all in one place\u2014so that teams always have the critical context they need to work together, even when they need to work apart.<\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward to a world of remote everything.&nbsp;Teachers connecting with students in virtual classrooms.&nbsp;Doctors and nurses taking essential consultations online.&nbsp;Factory-floor managers pivoting to&nbsp;produce&nbsp;much-needed&nbsp;medical supplies.&nbsp;And they\u2019re using Teams to do it.&nbsp;We have watched as millions of you lean into, and build upon, the&nbsp;Teams&nbsp;technology.&nbsp;So&nbsp;now, at this extraordinary inflection point in human history, when I hear the words \u201cnothing can stop a team,\u201d I think:&nbsp;<em>Wow, yes. What a profound and moving truth<\/em>. And thanks to our customers, we get to see that truth play out every day.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we are debuting a series of stories from customers who embody the spirit of unstoppable teams. This first video is unlike any other we\u2019ve created. It had no director. No crew. No just-right lighting or fancy mics. It\u2019s just real people, connecting over real Teams meetings and calls, to share the impactful work they\u2019ve been doing since they\u2019ve had to work apart. For me, their stories capture the essence of why Microsoft exists in the first place: to empower every individual and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As a platform and tools company, we\u2019re here to help educators and healthcare professionals connect with students and patients from anywhere, to help multinationals and small businesses stay productive, and to help people everywhere keep reaching higher\u2014even in difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>A bit more about the organizations we featured:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Founded in 1088, the <strong>University\u202fof Bologna <\/strong>is the\u202foldest university in the western world. And innovation is\u202fat\u202fthe heart of their\u202fcontinued success over the centuries. \u201cUnibo,\u201d as insiders call it, first reached out to Microsoft at the end of February to ask for support in bringing their classes online to help create learning continuity for the students. In its first week, the university went live with 50 percent of the classes, and by the second week they were at 100 percent. They now reach 87,000 students with more than 3,600 courses online, with positive feedback from IT, faculty, and the students. The school reports that the response was extraordinary, with students and teachers turning to social media to spread the news. As <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EmilioC_\/status\/1236372160739934215\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one professor put it on Twitter<\/a>: \u201cThis was big.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Metropolitan Police Service<\/strong> is running its London COVID-19 technology response on Teams. Across the organization, from uniform police patrol officers to forensic teams, up through command teams and across specialists and operational support, the Metropolitan Police Service is now \u201cliving on Teams\u201d to keep each other connected and running smoothly so it can keep London safe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>St. Luke\u2019s University Health Network<\/strong> serves approximately 1 million people across 10 counties in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In a matter of weeks, they transformed the way they work and deliver patient care through Teams and since April 1 have scheduled over 17,000 patient virtual visits. This allowed them to continue critical outpatient visits while protecting both patients and physicians from COVID-19 exposure and preserving valuable resources like masks and gloves. Tablets have also been installed in patient rooms so providers could engage with infected patients via Teams, minimizing exposure while still allowing for face-to-face connections between patients and caregivers.<\/li>\n<li>In response to COVID-19 <strong>L\u2019Or\u00e9al<\/strong> quickly adapted a plant in France to produce hand sanitizer and then expanded the effort to 28 of its factories across the globe. Teams allowed for this to happen rapidly with efficient and effective coordination and communication. L\u2019Or\u00e9al has started to donate thousands of liters of hand sanitizer to hospitals, pharmacies, care personnel staff, and retailers\u2019 staff around the world who need it to operate. \u201cTeams technology made it possible to work remotely in all continuity to implement quickly our new priorities,\u201d added Barbara Lavernos, EVP Technologies and Operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hearing these customers\u2019 stories, I am blown away by the sheer strength of our human will to connect and keep work moving. They come from different countries and very different industries, but together they represent millions of people around the world who are discovering that nothing can stop a team. At Microsoft, we are committed to building the tools that help keep them working together, through the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.<\/p>\n<nav class=\"c-link-navigation f-align-left custom-link-navigation custom-taxonomy-navigation\" aria-labelledby=\"category-header\">\n<h3 id=\"category-header\" class=\"x-screen-reader\"> Categories <\/h3>\n<\/nav>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cNothing can stop a team.\u201d If you said that to me a few months back, I would have probably thought: Yes.&nbsp;Teamwork is powerful.
