Last year we have witnessed a radical shift in the way we work, our customer expectations and workforce transformation, and there is no going back. The shift to hybrid work requires agility, greater flexibility for the employees and an opportunity for the business leader to rethink business transformation.
Remote and hybrid working has led to enterprises requiring solutions to streamline their communication platform. Microsoft teams quickly adapted the hybrid work paradox and provides resources to help organizations thrive in a hybrid world. Microsoft Teams with Direct Routing replaces an existing Private Branch Exchange (PBX) with a cloud-based system. With this system, enterprises are provided full voice calling capabilities traditionally delivered using a PBX phone system located on the business premises.
Direct Routing lets enterprises modernize their telephony infrastructure by providing a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) connection to Microsoft Teams.
Activo offers Microsoft Teams with Direct Routing, a proven certified business-grade unified communication solution with SIP trunks across Canada.
If you are using Microsoft 365 and use Teams for meetings, conferences and chats, you can now integrate PSTN connectivity to have a seamless experience between internal and external calls, support home office workers and manage multi-site operations with Microsoft Teams Direct Routing and Activo’s SIP/SBC solution.
The benefits of using Microsoft Teams Direct Routing include:
All-in-one solution: You can bring together calling, chat, and meetings in an all-in-one app. A call can be quickly started from Teams, Outlook, or your mobile device. Users can collaborate in Office apps within calls and meetings. There is also the flexibility of working across Teams and Outlook seamlessly with unified contacts and calendars.
Call from anywhere: Microsoft Teams Direct Routing provides access to one phone number across your computer, mobile, and desk phone. You can easily turn a call into a group meeting without hanging up or re-dialling. Users can also access their number on a range of devices built for Microsoft Teams.
Secure, reliable, & rich calling: Users enjoy cloud calling features like consultative transfer, music-on-hold, cloud voicemail, and more. There are also options to use built-in auto attendants and call queues or connect to contact center software.
