“In today’s environment, the anywhere workforce is no longer an option; it’s a must for most businesses,” said George Mitsopoulos, Broadvoice’s chief product officer. “Microsoft Teams has grown 275 percent since last fall – from 20 million to 75 million users – as businesses seek to replicate a collaborative office environment with employees who are all working from home.
