Business Collaboration Tool Features:
Microsoft Teams and Intermedia AnyMeeting

Intermedia AnyMeeting®: HIPAA-Compliant
Video Conferencing

Intermedia AnyMeeting provides HD video conferencing built for businesses that handle sensitive data. It's HIPAA compliant by design, making it the go-to choice for medical practices, behavioral health providers, and any organization that needs secure client-facing video meetings.

Microsoft Teams: The Collaboration Hub
for Office 365 Businesses

Microsoft Teams brings together chat, video meetings, file storage, and app integrations in one platform. For companies already using Microsoft 365, Teams is the natural choice because it connects directly with Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, Word, Excel, and the rest of the Office suite.

Quick Adoption, No Long Training Programs

Microsoft Teams and Intermedia AnyMeeting are built for everyday business users, not IT specialists. Most team members can send messages, join video calls, and share files within their first session.

PKT provides hands-on onboarding for your staff during deployment. We walk your team through the core features they'll use daily so nobody is left staring at a screen wondering what to click. For businesses in Springfield, Joplin, and Rogers, that onboarding happens locally, in person or via a live session with a PKT technician.

Connect Your Team Across Offices, Job Sites, and Remote Locations

Whether your team spans a single building or multiple locations across Missouri and Arkansas, Microsoft Teams and Intermedia AnyMeeting keep everyone on the same page.

Video meetings, file sharing, and team messaging work on any device with an internet connection. Your staff in Springfield can collaborate with a client in Rogers or a remote employee working from home, all in the same platform, with no special hardware required.

Platforms That Keep Up With Your Business

Microsoft Teams and Intermedia AnyMeeting are actively developed platforms with regular feature updates. Microsoft adds new capabilities to Teams through the Microsoft 365 roadmap, including AI-powered meeting summaries, noise cancellation, and expanded integration options.

When you deploy through PKT, you're not locked into an outdated version. Our team monitors platform updates and helps you take advantage of new features as they roll out, so your collaboration tools stay current without requiring a full system overhaul.

Integrations That Fit Your Existing Workflow

Microsoft Teams and Intermedia AnyMeeting connect with the software your team already uses. You don't have to rebuild your workflow around a new platform.

If your business uses specific software that needs to connect with your collaboration platform, PKT's team can review compatibility and configure the integration during deployment. Ask us about your specific stack when you request a quote.

We have answers to all the common questions we encounter when a business is
looking into Intelligent Collaboration Solutions

what are business collaboration tools and what do they do?

Business collaboration tools are software platforms that help teams communicate, share files, hold video meetings, and work on documents together in real time. Common examples include Microsoft Teams and Intermedia AnyMeeting. They replace fragmented email chains and in-person-only meetings with a single platform where your team can stay aligned from any location or device.

What are the 7 C's of collaboration?

The 7 C's of collaboration are Communication, Coordination, Cooperation, Co-creation, Conflict Resolution, Commitment, and Connection. These principles describe what effective teamwork requires beyond just having the right software. Business collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams and Intermedia AnyMeeting are built to support each of these elements through messaging, file sharing, and video conferencing features.

What are the best collaboration tools for small and mid-sized businesses?

The best collaboration tools for small and mid-size businesses depend on your existing software and compliance requirements. Microsoft Teams is the top choice for companies using Office 365, offering chat, video meetings, and file sharing in one platform. Intermedia AnyMeeting is the preferred option for healthcare and regulated industries that need HIPAA-compliant video conferencing. Pearson-Kelly Technology helps businesses in Missouri and Arkansas evaluate and deploy both.

how do collaboration tools improve business productivity?

Collaboration tools improve productivity by consolidating communication, file sharing, and project management into one platform. Teams spend less time switching between apps, chasing email approvals, and hunting for the latest file version. Real-time document co-authoring and integrated task management mean decisions happen faster and fewer items fall through the cracks between meetings.

What is the difference between microsoft teams and intermedia AnyMeeting?

Microsoft Teams is built for companies using Office 365, integrating natively with Outlook, SharePoint, OneDrive, and the full Microsoft 365 suite. Intermedia AnyMeeting is purpose-built for HIPAA-compliant video conferencing, making it the better choice for healthcare providers and businesses that handle protected data. Both include video meetings, screen sharing, and mobile apps. Pearson-Kelly Technology deploys and supports both platforms for Missouri and Arkansas businesses.

Are Collaboration tools HIPAA compliant for healthcare businesses?

Not all collaboration tools are HIPAA compliant by default. Intermedia AnyMeeting is purpose-built for HIPAA compliance. Microsoft Teams can also be configured for HIPAA compliance with the right admin settings and a Business Associate Agreement from Microsoft. Pearson-Kelly Technology configures compliance settings for healthcare providers across Springfield, Joplin, and Rogers during deployment.

What collaboration tools integrate with microsoft office 365?

Microsoft Teams is the primary collaboration tool built for Office 365. It connects directly with Outlook for scheduling, SharePoint for file storage, OneDrive for document access, and all core Microsoft 365 apps. If your business already pays for a Microsoft 365 subscription, Teams may already be included in your plan. PKT can review your current licensing to confirm what you have access to.
