We're here today to address the opportunity to build on the Microsoft teams platform. It's a platform where millions of users are connecting in today's hybrid workplace at its core. The team's platform has capabilities that can allow an Innovative company to put their application right at the center of hybrid collaboration, hi I'm, Nina, Millman I'm, a director at Microsoft for startups and at Microsoft for startups. We aim to help Innovative companies at every phase of their Journey. The team's platform is a collaboration tool, but it is much much more. It's a hub for teamwork.

A

It's a place where our partners can build upon the communication features of the team's platform. A partner can offer its users a uniquely connected experience. It can combine voice, video chat and collaboration and by building the integration directly into teams. A startup can now have the ability to create new and improved business workflows and go where customers are already at bringing an untapped Market of potential customers and for customers.

A

This also allows them to engage with external applications, but put them right in the context of where they're working with our 270 million monthly active users, teams really has become the new way where people are connecting they're collaborating they're, staying in their flow of work and keeping their full context and by full context.

A

What we mean is that people now can access information that they need from multiple systems directly from the platform of teams and have that information at their fingertips, and the numbers seem to bear that out since the start of 2020 monthly usage of third-party applications and custom-built solutions within teams has grown nearly 10 times and well. Just in the past year, the number of applications created by developers, partners and customer for teams has doubled. We think there are three main advantages about building an application directly into teams. First, you can reach a broader audience.

A

You build connections to Microsoft 365 and the robust community of teams daily users. Second, you can also leverage product Innovation by improving your application experience and creating new workflows and engaging your users through the M365 Suite of communication and collaboration capabilities.

A

And, finally, you can increase your sales and reduce costs and by reducing costs. What we mean is that you just develop once and then you can use it on any team's client web desktop or mobile. But how do Microsoft customers view third-party Integrations into teams?

A

Our customers have told us that they value the time savings that Integrations can bring to their employees work days, because it cuts the time out that otherwise employees would have to use to search around multiple systems, find relevant information transfer that information back and forth to share with their colleagues, but a quality integration now can be turned on directly into the flow where people are working, saving the people time and ultimately increasing everybody's productivity. What about value to startups? Here's?

A

What some startups have said about working with Microsoft and how they're being in the team's ecosystem has made a significant impact into their business. Here are some statistics about how teams has driven meaningful growth for our partners? Partners have reported that they have seen increased numbers of deals, increased deal sizes and new revenue streams from their Integrations that they've done with teams. We also have some specific examples about how Partners have grown their revenue by offering their solution inside of teams and taking advantage of the Microsoft commercial marketplaces.

A

La toolbox, for example, has streamlined workflows for law firms, they've enabled their law firms in general councils to collaborate with their clients on a modern, secure platform, because now law, toolbox's customers can keep their data secure in their n365 tenant, while using law toolbox's solution, the partner has also leveraged our Microsoft commercial marketplaces to reach new customers.

A

In fact, they've grown Revenue two times in two months and over 12 months they were able to see a 10 times growth, that's significant growth for the partner and also that's new workflows that have been enabled to our joint customers through a new application within teams.

A

Another example is a young company breakthrough breakthrough recently launched their application, which they custom built for teams, and now they have seen Enterprise adoption and a rapid growth of users for their solution.

A

And finally, we come to an example of a company who's leveraging the Microsoft commercial marketplaces to increase scale by being a Microsoft isv partner. Mural has seen a growing number of Microsoft. Influenced opportunities come their way which allows mural the ability to deliver their customers, value and seamless Integrations. Within a single platform, mural has been able to reach joint customers and grow their scale alongside Microsoft.

A
