Why take the MS-700 Managing Microsoft Teams training
Microsoft Teams is used daily by millions of professionals to communicate, collaborate and organize their work. However, advanced Teams administration remains a specialized skill area. The MS-700 certification validates your ability to manage Teams at the enterprise level: governance, telephony, networks, compliance and integrations. This expertise is in high demand among Swiss organizations looking to maximize their Microsoft 365 investment.
At ITTA, MCT instructors guide you through practical scenarios on real cloud environments. You leave with skills directly applicable in your professional context.
Team governance and lifecycle management
Well-defined governance is essential to prevent uncontrolled proliferation of teams and channels in Teams. The training covers naming policy implementation, automatic expiration of Microsoft 365 groups, guest access permission management and team creation policy configuration. You also learn to manage the complete team lifecycle, from creation to archiving, including supervision of authorized third-party applications in the environment.
Telephony and voice with Teams Phone
The convergence of unified communications toward Teams represents a strategic challenge for many organizations. The MS-700 training covers in detail the configuration of Teams Phone, Microsoft calling plans, Direct Routing and advanced voice features. You learn to plan a telephony migration to Teams, configure auto attendants, call queues and routing policies. These skills are particularly sought after in French-speaking Switzerland where many companies are migrating their telephony to the cloud.
Network quality and diagnostics
User experience quality in Teams depends directly on network performance. You learn to use the Call Quality Dashboard (CQD), analyze network metrics and identify causes of audio and video quality degradation. The training also covers bandwidth planning, QoS configuration and using Microsoft diagnostic tools to resolve connectivity and performance issues.
Security, compliance and integrations
Teams management goes beyond technical aspects. You must also ensure communication compliance with applicable regulations. The training addresses retention policies, information barriers, communication monitoring and integration with Microsoft Purview. You learn to configure Teams-specific DLP policies and manage external and guest access securely.
