One of the comments we’ve heard from customers is that they want to be able to access their Evernote content from within their other digital tools.
It makes sense. We recently partnered with data analytics firm YouGov for a U.S. survey, and found that 65 percent of workers use up to nine different apps every day. And now that Bring Your Own App (BYOA) is revolutionizing IT, it’s no surprise that customers expect the apps they love to work together seamlessly.
But here’s the problem: When your apps don’t play well with each other, getting your work done can be… well, a lot of work.
Different apps create information silos, where each tool only has part of what you need. So you struggle to stitch it all together, using emails, copy and paste, countless open tabs, and dozens of chat channels. And the result? You lose up to 40 percent of your most productive time jumping between apps to get things done.
Integrations to the rescue
Integrations are the bridges between your apps, allowing them to communicate with each other and share information. This exponentially increases the value of your data by helping you leverage it in new, creative ways.
Over the years, Evernote has made productivity easier by building integrations with a host of powerful apps, including Microsoft Outlook, Salesforce, Google Drive, Slack, and many others. Now we’ve added another big name to that list.
Microsoft Teams is the hub in Office 365 where teams can chat, share documents, have video meetings, and move projects forward. Evernote for Microsoft Teams brings your notes into the context of your Teams conversations, so you can access and reference specific notes—without having to leave the Teams experience.
As businesses, Evernote and Microsoft share a common purpose: helping people work better together. And the best way we can honor that mission is by joining forces to help you achieve more. We believe in empowering our customers to use the tools they love, because tools and technology can boost productivity and help your team succeed.

With this integration, you can seamlessly share, pin, edit, and search your Evernote Business notes from within Microsoft Teams. This helps you work without interruption and keeps everyone on the same page.
