# Microsoft Teams on Any Surface

## Promoting Collaboration in the Workplace by Making Technology Simple

In today’s digitally-driven, interconnected business world, technology is a key component of every modern office. While these tools are meant to make life easier, we know that in reality, maintaining technology can present a variety of challenges for businesses, such as:

- Ensuring various tools are compatible.
- Giving employees the resources they need.
- Keeping devices and data secure.
- Preventing costly loss and theft.

These challenges have only been amplified by the rise of remote work and “Bring Your Own Device” policies. With technology uses, tools, [best practices](https://blog.protectedtrust.com/microsoft-teams-workplace-productivity) constantly evolving, how can you help your teams achieve more together?

## That’s where Teams on any Surface comes in

Say hello to you new favorite *monthly subscription* service. It keeps all the software and [Surface devices](https://blog.protectedtrust.com/microsoft-surface-devices-collaboration) needed to connect your team’s conversations, files, and meetings in one convenient, accessible place. **Now that’s making technology simple.**

You’ll experience a Managed Desktop consisting of a Signature Edition Microsoft Surface computer device (Go, Pro, Laptop, or Book) and a security-hardened version of Windows 10 Enterprise.

By using [Microsoft Teams](https://blog.protectedtrust.com/microsoft-teams-for-business) across your devices and applications, your business will always have a place to create and make decisions as a cohesive unit — securely and with unmatched mobility.

## What is Microsoft Teams?

[Microsoft Teams](https://blog.protectedtrust.com/collaborate-with-microsoft-teams) is a unique collaboration app that creates an all-in-one hub for teamwork. Whether your employees are communicating internally or sharing with a client, Teams brings multiple aspects of your business together in one shared and simple workspace.

The best part? It seamlessly integrates with the Office 365 software suite and Surface devices you’re already using. Level up your [communications](https://blog.protectedtrust.com/microsoft-teams-vs-slack-business-communication), company meetings, and trainings — without the need for a third-party service or software that could cause implementation and compatibility issues.

By enabling live collaboration, every member of your team will be able to chat, meet, and work within business apps simultaneously and in real-time. No matter what device they’re working on or what location they’re working from, this enables your employees to collaborate without a hitch.

Plus, with the ability to share files and work on documents together, adding suggestions, making edits, and giving approval becomes simple. There’s no endless email chain or messy paper trail to keep track of and sort through — the most up-to-date version will always be at your fingertips.
