Microsoft Teams Voice Managed Services
Lots of people know about Microsoft Teams for its native real time collaboration capabilities, such as the ability to communicate with colleagues using the instant chat functionality and video call, as well as attend online meetings and access shared files. However, by also implementing Microsoft Teams as a cloud based phone system, Microsoft Teams can become your organisation’s complete unified communications service. As specialists in Teams Voice Solutions, Circle Cloud are the perfect partner to support you on your Microsoft Teams Voice implementation.
Circle Cloud’s approach to implementing Microsoft Teams Voice has been designed by learning lessons from many customer projects. Our process begins with a Microsoft Teams Voice Consultant holding a requirements workshop, designed to ensure you have a full understanding of all the features within Microsoft Teams Voice. During this workshop, we establish how exactly you want Microsoft Teams Voice to work for your business. We agree your individual user’s capabilities for voice calling, such as number of minutes, international dialling permissions and call queue membership. Business-wide functionality, such as call queues and auto attendants, are designed and agreed upon. We build the system, arrange and deliver training sessions for all of your users and support you with porting your existing numbers into the system.
If you need Call recording and/or Call Reporting in Microsoft Teams Voice, we have a specific and unique solution for this as well. Circle Cloud will implement and manage this upon request. More information is provided on this on our Microsoft Teams Voice Managed Service page.
