Our story of building a Microsoft Teams App to empower knowledge sharing in our company
**Abstract**:
In our line of work, having the right know-how and experience is crucial, especially if you work as consultants. We realized it'd be smart to find an easier way to share what we know within our company, so we don't have to start from scratch every time we kick off a new project.
This talk will cover why we decided to create an app for this (and whether it was a good call), why we picked Microsoft Teams as the platform (yep, you can make apps for Teams!), our goals and big dreams for the app, how it all played out, and the lessons we learned along the journey.
