Microsoft Teams

The gap Teams can’t fill

Microsoft Teams is where your team communicates. But communication isn’t process.

When someone asks “can you approve this?” in a Teams message, there’s no assigned owner, no deadline, no escalation. If that message gets buried in a busy channel, the work simply doesn’t happen. Teams can’t track whether a request was completed or hold anyone accountable.

Teams Approvals (built on Power Automate) handles simple linear approvals - but it can’t manage multi-step processes with conditional routing, parallel tasks, or cross-department coordination.

What Teams handles:

  • Real-time messaging and channels
  • Video meetings and calls
  • File sharing via SharePoint
  • Basic approvals via Power Automate

What falls through the cracks:

  • Request tracking with clear ownership and deadlines
  • Multi-department approval workflows
  • SLA enforcement and automatic escalation
  • Process visibility and completion metrics
  • Conditional routing based on request type or data
  • Audit trails for compliance

Teams is where people talk. Tallyfy is where work gets tracked and done.
