BeeCastle and Microsoft Teams Announcement
Today we are excited to announce our Microsoft Teams integration and app, which is currently in Beta and will be launched publicly in May!
Due to COVID-19, we are all increasingly moving remote. For many relationship managers this represents a significant departure — we all need to be more deliberate and collaborative in the way we connect with our clients and network. Businesses are increasingly using Microsoft Teams to facilitate that remote collaboration and we’ve had many requests to access BeeCastle’s insights directly within Teams.
You ask, we listen… and build! We’ve seen a tremendous amount of excitement when previewing this new app to our customers. We hope that in these times where being deliberately proactive with your clients has become important, you can use this new app to make smarter and faster decisions around relationships.
How does BeeCastle in Teams work?
With the BeeCastle app in Teams, you can easily add new BeeCastle Tabs to each of your channels so that our powerful dashboards are always at hand. For example:
-
If your channel is focused on a specific vertical or portfolio (e.g. a practice area for a legal firm), you can add a tab that shows a pre-filtered portfolio overview. See the status of your team’s relationships with all of the clients within that portfolio.
-
If you have channels centered around important accounts, you can add a company dashboard to get all of your relationship history and relationship scoring with each contact in one view.
-
Finally, if you have a channel centered around a specific decision maker, you can add a contact dashboard to have full team visibility of your relationship history with that contact.
This is just the start of BeeCastle + Microsoft
BeeCastle is a certified Microsoft Partner and we believe our product works best for teams who work within Office 365 and Teams.
In the spirit of making remote relationship management work, we are building more integrations with Outlook, Teams and other Office 365 apps over the coming months. This will include:
- Providing meeting feedback and ratings within your Outlook emails or through Teams itself.
- Being able to share specific cards within Teams to prompt conversation.
- A personal home within Teams where you can see smart suggestions, suggested contacts and other information that will help you proactively build better connections with clients.
