The Real World is Messy: How to Embrace Microsoft Teams Phone in a Multi-Vendor UC Estate

Organizations are transforming IT and moving to the cloud; and voice is no exception. While many vendors demonstrate a perfect world where a single solution is used, the real world is “messy”. IT Pros must grapple with a mix of UC technologies and vendors, coupled with changing work practices, old and new technologies, and service desks.

Moving to Microsoft Team Phone can help consolidate costly legacy voice platforms by moving the company’s voice platform to the cloud, however, for many organizations Teams may be used in conjunction with other technologies, and you still need to manage costs, simplify administration and improve end user experience.

Get this right and the rewards are enticing; deliver a better end-user experience, support flexible work styles, automate more of your UC management processes, modernize and rationalize older systems, optimize costs.

But where to start?

In this webinar, VOSS Solutions is joined by industry analyst Kevin Kieller to discuss realistic transitions to Microsoft Teams Phone. Discover and learn:

• Why choose Microsoft Teams Phone – What does it offer?
• Where to start – Which users to move onto Teams Phone, when and why?
• What the migration path looks like – How to go about it, how long does it take?
• Features gaps – How to handle incompatibilities for a complete solution?
• Managing your migration – How to move users whilst running systems in parallel?
• Removing complexity – How to create a unified management portal?
• Achieving success – What makes for a successful migration to Teams Phone?

Many service providers have multiple legacy platforms that are being eroded by newer technologies. So, how do service providers retain their existing end customers who are on a collection of dedicated, managed services and hosting platforms from the likes of Cisco and Avaya, all of which are reaching the end of their life?

This webinar will explore the benefits of transitioning these disparate platforms to a newer, consolidated strategy whilst continuing to provide superb managed services.

We will investigate the challenges, best practices, and tools that can help retain customers while maintaining and improving service levels by deploying Microsoft Teams Phone capabilities. Special focus will be given to the migration process for some – or all – users.

During this interactive webinar we will provide answers to questions such as:

• What are the current customer and market trends and hot spots related to Microsoft Teams?
• Can Microsoft Teams be added to your existing platforms?
• What savings can be made by consolidating multiple platforms?
• How difficult is it to extract and move configurations from an existing hosted or managed service?
• Which features translate to Microsoft Teams voice services and which features don’t?
• What are the best practices for managing a cloud-to-cloud migration?
• How to ensure performance levels and enhance user experience?
• What new opportunities are created as users adopt Microsoft Teams Phone?

Webinar: The Business Case for Unifying UC and Network Management in a Hybrid World

Watch on demand

Much of today’s workforce is demanding to work in a hybrid way, requiring high-quality access to voice and video applications, regardless of location. How do IT teams meet this demand when they are often constrained by a management environment that separates network insights from views into UC application performance?

The lack of a unified approach leads to delays in troubleshooting problems when they occur, an inability to proactively prevent network issues from impacting voice and video performance and most importantly, unhappy employees, unable to do their jobs.

During the discussion, our panelists will provide insight and guidance covering:
• Characteristics of the hybrid workforce
• Challenges with current management approaches
• Unifying UC, collaboration, and network management
• What to look for in a solution provider
• Conclusions and recommendations

Join this panel discussion to gain insight into successful strategies for unifying network and application management to enable automation, eliminate finger-pointing, and ensure positive employee and ultimately, customer experience.
