Businesses are increasingly looking to reap the benefits of Microsoft Teams. Yet incorporating existing telephony can be an obstacle.
The communications landscape is transforming, and IT, Voice, and Telecom service providers need to respond.
As businesses of all sizes implement a work-from-anywhere approach, the demands on communication solutions are changing. Businesses are moving away from traditional phone systems (14%) and adopting Unified Communications (82%) source: The Eastern Management Group. Businesses are looking to utilize a suite of communication tools, such as phone, video conferencing, instant messaging, voicemail, email, fax, etc. It is about being able to dynamically choose the communications medium most appropriate.
The challenge of voice-enabling Teams
Businesses are increasingly looking to reap the benefits of a single collaborative hub, such as Microsoft Teams. For businesses and their staff, Microsoft Teams can enhance productivity, whilst supporting the remote working set-up.
Yet incorporating existing telephony can be an obstacle. Technology should be an enabler. And it is only natural for a business to want better integration with voice and collaborative platforms such as Teams. Yet businesses are unwilling to lose existing calling infrastructure, with feature-rich services that support multi-agent and call center environments.
For Voice and Telecom providers, the threat of customers moving to a full-stack Microsoft experience is evident.
For IT providers, Microsoft Teams brings the advantage of managing users within one, familiar platform. Yet it raises the challenge of how best to incorporate voice services; an area not traditionally supported under the IT umbrella.
For businesses looking to support remote working, the deployment of complex integrations and the disruption this may cause is something they are unwilling to consider in the current climate.
