Microsoft Makes Kaizala Free for 365 Subscribers

Kaizala seems to provide a number of network architectures for people working together.    Nice idea, how will it compare to the now popular Teams?    Do most people know the architecture that is needed, and will that architecture remain stable during the project?   Still like the idea.  Will be experimenting. 

Coordinate work across dynamic networks of people using Microsoft Kaizala

Today’s workplace extends well beyond organizational boundaries, and there is an increasing need to connect your entire business value chain, including your Firstline workers, vendors, partners, suppliers, and customers. A disconnected value chain hinders productivity, slows down decision making, prevents the ability for insights to surface from the field, and creates potential for customer dissatisfaction. Today, consumer messaging apps are often used between people across the value chain, but this poses security, privacy and compliance risks to company data. Microsoft Kaizala aims to solve a lot of these challenges, especially in mobile-first, developing markets.

Microsoft Kaizala is a simple and secure mobile app, with easy sign-up using just a phone number. It enables networks of people to connect and coordinate work across their roles, spanning Firstline workers, vendors, partners, suppliers, customers, and citizens.  Many organizations are already doing amazing things with Kaizala.

Kaizala delivers on four key promises:

1. Communicate across dynamic networks: Kaizala supports diverse group types such as hub and spoke, hierarchies, and public groups – which model the communication needs of your organization. Use it to connect with your customers and partners or your Firstline workers. Temporal and geo-fenced groups make the set-up and discovery of groups easy, and large group size of up to 1 million users enables scenarios such as government-to-citizen communication .... "

(Apparently the 'free' version contains fewer capabilities than the full version, will examine)
