Introducing our Microsoft Teams solutions with BT
Your people need a flexible, hybrid workplace fit for the future – where they can use one familiar application that combines collaboration tools and provides access to global voice services too. Operator Connect is a simple, new way to enable your colleagues to make calls to landlines and mobiles straight from Microsoft Teams. It means your people can stay connected wherever they are, giving you a comprehensive and cost-effective way to manage all your calls and communications easily in one place.
One unified collaboration tool, four core benefits
Adding the power of our global voice network to the Microsoft Teams environment has four key advantages:
1
Easy
It’s easy, quick to set up and simple to manage.
2
It’s resilient
Direct peering through Microsoft Azure Peering Service (MAPS) creates a 1:1 trusted network connection that enhances resilience.
3
It’s cost-effective
Using our voice services through Microsoft Teams replaces less flexible, more costly voice solutions, such as PBX – reducing infrastructure and maintenance costs.
4
User adoption is included
We provide you with a launch communications kit and access to an online learning hub that’s designed to ensure your people understand and embrace the service.
