The long-term solution for voice enabling Teams

With remote working and flexible working here to stay, many businesses are re-aligning their communications to meet longer-term goals.

Businesses of all sizes are looking to utilize voice, video, and messaging on one platform, to meet their needs now and in the future. For Voice, Telco, and IT partners this means delivering solutions that will flex with demand.

Microsoft Teams is one of the most widely used collaboration platforms. With Microsoft owning nearly four-fifths of the business desktop market, and with Teams offered as part of the Office 365 suite it was the natural go-to for many businesses. This is evident with Teams being the fastest growing business app in Microsoft history.

The ability to access the work phone system through the unified Teams client is invaluable. With the customer driving demand, voice providers are under pressure to Teams enable their service, and IT teams are under pressure to incorporate existing enterprise-grade telephony. And not just that, the solution needs to be long-term.

4 things to look for when voice-enabling Teams for the long-term
