Move your phone system to Microsoft 365
Teams is great, but with a telephone system, it's better!
You know it. It is a simpler world when your calls are made in the same application you use to communicate and collaborate with your teammates and clients. Get rid of your old school phone system and unify your communications on Teams and you can bring this level of simplicity to your business.
Selecting telephone enabled bundles for your team members adds the migration of their telephone extensions and direct lines to your Microsoft 365 account.
Hybrid office, teleworking and mobile workplace as one
The world is changing fast. That’s true. Even if your business still needs to take and place phone calls, why should they be dealt with differently in the office, on the road or when working from home?
The simplest way to remove barriers in your tele-working policy is to use one application for all uses and settings. This way, anyone can take a call from the office on Monday, reach out to a client from the airport on Wednesday and speak with a supplier from home on Friday, all with the same Teams application they use to chat and collaborate all week.
Onboarding new team members in a day; doable
Simplify and eliminate expenses
Traditional business telephone systems are expensive to maintain and represent another system to understand, secure and manage.
Getting rid of it may pay for the conversion to Microsoft 365 or even provide additional savings. A simpler, unified, communications system can make Finance your biggest backer.
