Hybrid workforces reveal new challenges and create new opportunities. Remote employees need to communicate from any worksite, on any device. Organizations require flexible phone capabilities while keeping classic calling features. Pressure on IT budgets and resources opens opportunities for modern solutions that are cost-effective and easy to manage. The organizations that will thrive in the next era of work will be the ones that embrace flexibility. Leverage your current IT tools to meet the challenge: let’s learn about the benefits of Microsoft Teams Phone.

Microsoft Teams Phone is an enterprise-grade cloud communication service built for all the ways you work. You’ll be able to provide a secure, productive employee experience with calls, chat, meetings, and Microsoft 365 apps united in one, easy-to-use tool. No matter where they are working from, employees can quickly start a call from chat, contact card, Outlook, or the calls app. Staff working together on projects can collaborate in Microsoft 365 apps directly from calls and meetings, visible to everyone on the call. Optimize your customer’s experience with features like holding music, live captions, built-in auto attendants, and call queues. Optimize employee collaboration with group call pick up, delegation, voicemail transcription, and shared call queue log and voicemail for customer or team history.
