Connected
Bring business workflows, contextualized data, and actionable insights into every interaction – in real-time and over time.

Intelligent
Unlock business insights and open new frontiers of operational intelligence.
Transform your ideas into collaborative experiences

Bring your app into Teams

Bring Teams into your app
Extend what your app can do with Teams functionality such as video calling, telephony, or chat, using the building blocks in Azure Communication Services. Plus, bring data and insights from Microsoft 365 to your app with Microsoft Graph.
