A new way to collaborate has arrived in Office 365 to push aside SharePoint Team Sites. Groups for Office 365 provides a new experience, combining different technologies under one service to help make the most of team collaboration. The session was recorded and will be available as a video very soon. What do you think? Can Groups for Office 365 eventually take over basic Team sites?
