Specific challenges
Challenge: Teams data export
Microsoft doesn't make it easy to export Teams data. Conversations are scattered across multiple services.
Our approach
Using Microsoft Graph APIs and eDiscovery exports to retrieve all data in a structured way.
Challenge: Change management
Users are used to Teams. Changing tools can create resistance.
Our approach
Team support with customized documentation, hands-on sessions and support during the transition period.
About privacy
By switching to Kchat, your team conversations are hosted in Switzerland, protected by some of the strictest data protection laws in the world.
