VoiceHost can now offer Microsoft Teams integration allowing Microsoft Teams users to route calls via VoiceHost SIP Trunking.
WHAT IS MICROSOFT TEAMS?
Microsoft Teams is a powerful collaboration suite that allows users to have voice, video, instant message, file and desktop sharing all organised into groups or teams making it a comprehensive UC (Unified Communication) tool.
Microsoft Teams is not the same as Lync or Skype-for-Business which is focused around voice and video conferencing. VoiceHost offers conferencing as part of our platform so users will achieve the best of both worlds making VoiceHost with Microsoft Teams integration a powerful tool-set.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Microsoft Teams has some very specific requirements for interoperability that presents costly and protracted issues for setup and maintenance such as having either Ribbon (Genband) or Audiocodes SBCs and atypical SIP configurations
We can remove all of the complex Microsoft Teams interop so that you can be setup in minutes receiving and making calls via your VoiceHost SIP Trunk.
You will need to have the required Microsoft licenses to use the service with your teams/365 user accounts.
Office 365 - Licensing Requirements
- E1 with Phone System Add-on
- E3 with Phone System Add-on
- E5 (already includes the Phone System add-on)
