From easy expense tracking and seamless Adobe integration, to HR task management and an organisational information hub – these apps give you everything you need to create the best virtual working environment.

So, let’s discover the top Teams apps for 2023!

App #1: Adobe Acrobat

Collaborating on PDFs has never been easier with Adobe Acrobat!

Adobe Acrobat makes collecting feedback from colleagues effortless, promoting collaboration by making the commenting, reviewing and editing process much simpler.

For secure, centralised and simple PDF editing, it has to be Adobe Acrobat!
