Google Chat external interoperability with Microsoft Teams via NextPlane OpenHub is now available
NextPlane's OpenHub facilitates interoperability between Google Chat and Microsoft Teams, allowing seamless cross-platform communication. OpenHub bridges the communication divide, enabling users to interact across organizational boundaries without platform restrictions. It directly connects Google Chat users with those on external Microsoft Teams tenants, enhancing collaboration. This release supports external interoperability, including presence, chats, file sharing, and meetings. The solution allows a single Google Workspace environment to connect with multiple Microsoft Teams tenants. OpenHub prioritizes enterprise governance, offering a dedicated single-tenant service with customer data control. Admins manage configuration through existing Google and Microsoft admin consoles, streamlining the process. This simplifies cross-platform collaboration for projects, joint ventures, and partner workflows. Admins need to register OpenHub as an enterprise application on both platforms. This feature is available for various Google Workspace editions, requiring separate NextPlane licensing.
