  2. Consider the discussion groups and especially the channels ready for the Teams, so that the implementation would be as successful as possible
  3. After 6 months of Trial, you can easily move forward in terms of licensing technology, prepare for the continuation in autumn 2020
  4. Do you also want email from your domain to Office 365? You can do it now or later
  5. Are the users’ devices in good condition? Microsoft Teams needs a good headset and webcam
