A township IT lead asks which cloud service type Microsoft Teams primarily represents for end users. What is the best answer?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
For most staff, Teams is "open the app and collaborate"—not "build and patch the meeting servers." That ready-to-use, provider-hosted model is SaaS collaboration, same idea as cloud email.
Full Explanation
Microsoft Teams is delivered as a cloud collaboration and communication service that Microsoft hosts and operates for customers. End users consume chat, meetings, and channels over the internet without managing the underlying infrastructure, which aligns with SaaS. IaaS and PaaS describe infrastructure and application-platform responsibilities that do not match how typical end users experience Teams.
