Microsoft Teams
Overview
Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a purpose-built communication platform for teams that need to move fast without compromising on audit-readiness. Native integrations with ERP, CRM, TMS and HRIS systems mean screenings happen at the point of business — onboarding, invoicing, shipment release — instead of in a separate silo. The platform ingests sanctions, denied-parties, beneficial-ownership and trade-classification data continuously, so your team is always working against the latest source-of-truth. A documented REST API and outbound webhooks make it straightforward to embed compliance checks into custom applications and to stream events into your data warehouse. The roadmap is informed by an active customer council, so the platform keeps pace with regulatory change — from UFLPA to evolving export-control regimes.
