Turn Microsoft Teams into your external Telephony System with SVL

How do you use Microsoft Teams?

The workplace has changed at breathtaking speed over the past 2 years. The challenges to all organisations, but particularly those in the Contact Centre industry, have been huge as homeworking has become an integral part of daily life. Using Microsoft Teams as a collaborative tool has been a god-send for most organisations (and people) over this period.

To put this in context, pre-covid Microsoft Teams had 32 million active users. That figure rose to 145 million in April of this year.….and is expected to reach 300 million by the end of this year.

So how do you use teams? As simple internal communications tool to allow staff to talk face-to-face and share files?

Are you getting the most out of Microsoft Teams?

Use Teams as your Telephony Platform and benefit from huge cost savings

Use MS Teams to streamline communication for your organisation’s needs.

Take your existing MS Teams package, and extend it to cover external communications. This is simple and incredibly cost-effective.

You do not need to have a seperate telephony system when you have MS Teams. Simple as that.

Organisations can leverage their existing Teams and 365 deployments by easily integrating Microsoft’s Cloud PBX platform (Phone System) that will quickly enable external communication capabilities.

With this simple change, users can make and receive telephone calls and have all of the standard telephony feature that you would expect from a traditional PBX (private branch exchange) platform, all from within the same Teams window.

This allows companies to easily implement a ‘work from anywhere’ approach across multiple devices.

Microsoft Teams leverages VOIP technology as part of a UCaaS package

Your Microsoft Teams app should be used on VOIP phones and devices

VoIP stands for ‘Voice over Internet Protocol’ or sometimes IP (internet) telephony or even internet calling. It’s an alternative to a public switched telephone network (PSTN)

VoIP converts signals from analog to digital before transmitting them over the internet.

Delivering VOIP telephony can be further enhanced when organisations add more modern collaboration services such as instance messaging (Chat), documentation sharing, video and applications.

When these solutions come together they provide a much more robust and comprehensive user experience, often referred to as Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS).
