Table of Contents

Teams is a unified communications and collaboration platform offered by Microsoft that helps enable those who work for businesses and organizations to collaborate and communicate from all around the world. Microsoft Teams allows astute communication via chat, email, video meetings, file storage, and app integration from anywhere, so team users can stay connected no matter where they are. Today we'll discuss how Microsoft Teams Phone System Integration works and Teams Phone System User Experience would benefit your company.

Employees can have the flexibility to use Teams on any device from anywhere in the world, which is critical in today’s remote work environment. Meanwhile, IT staff can more easily manage the centralized cloud communication infrastructure and adapt as the workforce changes going forward. Microsoft Phone System lets you connect a supported, customer-provided Session Border Controller (Ribbon SBC lite Microsoft certified) to achieve the paging feature.

Communication Square provides a fully managed service, including planning and implementing, support and training employees. This is essential for complex, multinational deployments. We will help the organization to obtain the proper licenses. We will port DID/DDI phone numbers from the current service provider carrier so that users don’t have to change their phone numbers and can also provide new numbers.
