As she dove in, she quickly recognized something was missing—the experience customers had when going from one Microsoft Teams account channel to another wasn’t standardized.

The challenge was that they were naming these channels based on the account executives who oversaw these customer accounts. However, when account executives moved to new solution areas or roles, it was impossible to move these teams. Often, the knowledge collected by the team was siloed, making it hard for account executives and customer success managers to find what they needed.
