VOSS announces Version 25.3 

Powerful advances in AI, security, segmentation, and digital experience monitoring for Microsoft 365 and UC solutions 

Tuesday January 6, 2026 – VOSS, an award-winning leader in digital workplace management technology, today announced its latest release, delivering major enhancements that help enterprises harness AI to simplify operations, strengthen security, and unlock deeper visibility across their collaboration environments.

The VOSS platform unifies four essential capabilities – automation, monitoring, analytics, and AI – within a single architecture, enabling resilient, multi-vendor automation at scale without reliance on fragile scripts or disconnected tools. This latest release is anchored by significant innovations in AI-driven outcomes, Microsoft security management, Teams data segmentation, and digital experience monitoring – bringing measurable business value to IT and operational teams.

Headline enhancements in VOSS v25.3

VOSS introduces a broad range of operational improvements and new capabilities across the platform. Highlights include:

Wingman AI assistant: Expanded capabilities that drive operational efficiency

VOSS v25.3 introduces significant advancements to the Wingman AI Assistant, designed to reduce administrative effort and accelerate task completion. Key enhancements include:

  • A new agentic chat interface with conversation history, real-time progress indicators, and contextual awareness. Admins can maintain multiple parallel threads – each with its own purpose and context – allowing faster and more intelligent decision-making across complex workflows.
  • Expanded action recommendations that now cover the full administrative menu, enabling admins to trigger tasks rapidly and consistently, reducing training requirements and increasing adoption.
  • Broader data access across monitoring, analytics, and other platform components, allowing Wingman to answer richer, cross-domain queries and generate more meaningful outcomes. This builds on Wingman’s existing on-demand analytics capability, making it even easier for admins to surface insights instantly without navigating multiple tools.
  • A new guided troubleshooting workflow, launching with Microsoft Teams call quality use cases. This structured, intelligent workflow helps admins diagnose and resolve issues more quickly – cutting time to resolution and improving service reliability.

These enhancements transform Wingman into a true operational copilot, reducing workload on administrators, improving service quality, and scaling expertise across teams.

Microsoft Defender: Segmenting large Microsoft 365 tenants to allow local domain administration for office applications and endpoints

VOSS v25.3 extends the platform’s trusted segmentation, RBAC, and configurable experience models into the Microsoft security ecosystem. The release includes support for a foundational set of MACDs and dashboards for Microsoft Defender for Office and Defender for Endpoint, enabling organizations to:

  • Deliver controlled and segmented administrative access for local SecOps teams without the need for global administrative rights to the Microsoft tenant.
  • Respond faster to security-related needs without compromising governance or consistency.
  • Provide business-aligned visibility into Defender metrics and security posture.

With this latest innovation, organizations can decentralize and accelerate security operations – while maintaining full control and compliance through VOSS’ consistent governance model.

User-based segmentation for Microsoft Teams call data: Precision access and governance

The new release introduces user-based segmentation for Microsoft Teams call data using a flexible ‘business hierarchy’ — which gives enterprises clearer, more structured visibility into call performance across the organization. This enhancement enables IT and operational teams to:

  • View call quality and performance metrics aligned to the organization’s hierarchy.
  • Drill down into regions, departments, brands, or user groups for faster identification of service-impacting issues.
  • Troubleshoot more effectively with targeted analytics and segmented data access.
  • Maintain granular RBAC and delegate visibility only where required.

The result is stronger oversight, improved measurement, and deeper insights—helping teams detect issues earlier, resolve them faster, and maintain a consistently high-quality calling experience across the business.

Digital experience dashboards on the VOSS platform

Organizations can now deploy and manage digital experience monitoring (DEM) agent analytics directly through the VOSS platform, introducing true proactive monitoring, for services like Microsoft Teams and Cisco Webex. By running continuous synthetic tests across critical user journeys—such as logins, calls, meetings, and messaging—admins gain real-time visibility into the full-service path, not just what the cloud reports.

This shift from reactive to proactive monitoring means issues can be identified long before a user raises a ticket. DEM agents surface early warning signs, highlight performance degradation, and reveal regional or network-specific anomalies that traditional tools may miss. With end-to-end insight into the digital experience, IT teams can stay ahead of service-impacting problems, reduce downtime, and ensure users enjoy consistently reliable collaboration services.

Webex insights dashboards on the VOSS platform

As part of ongoing product consolidation, VOSS has enhanced its Webex analytics experience with updated and newly added dashboards covering users, workspaces, devices, licenses, and more – giving organizations improved visibility across their Webex deployments. This hierarchy makes it easy to drill into site-level status or view performance across the entire estate.

Other notable system updates include support for alternative virtualization solutions like VMware Esxi 8, HyperV, and Nutanix, as well as improved SNMP data management.

Dan Payne, CTO, VOSS Solutions

Dan Payne, Chief Technology Officer at VOSS, commented; “With VOSS v25.3, organizations gain a more intelligent, secure, and operationally efficient platform for managing their collaboration and digital workplace environments. By expanding AI-driven automation, strengthening governance across Microsoft ecosystems, and deepening visibility into user experience and service health, VOSS continues to deliver innovation that will help our customers scale with confidence.”

This release reinforces VOSS’ commitment to empowering IT teams with the tools they need to operate faster, smarter, and with greater control – today and into the future. To find out more about VOSS 25.3, please contact info@voss-solutions.com.

Tuesday November 12, 2024

As the holiday season approaches, many businesses face the challenge of onboarding temporary staff to handle increased demand.

According to research conducted by Glassdoor, new hire productivity increases by 70% in organizations that have a strong onboarding process. However, managing these temporary workers, particularly in areas like customer service and retail, adds a huge amount of complexity to UC and contact center systems. And then offboarding them at the end of their short-term contract is another matter entirely.

Ensuring a seamless experience for these employees, managing the associated IT administration, and maintaining security and operational efficiency, requires thoughtful automation management.

Streamline onboarding and offboarding processes

The seasonal influx of temporary staff demands quick and efficient onboarding. Automating user provisioning within your UC environment can greatly reduce the time it takes to get new employees up and running. Tools like VOSS Automate enable IT teams to automate the creation of user accounts, assign roles, and configure permissions based on predefined templates. By standardizing the onboarding process, businesses can ensure that temporary workers have access to the necessary communication tools from day one.

Equally important is offboarding. At the end of the holiday season, access to UC systems must be revoked promptly to maintain security. Automation can streamline offboarding as well, ensuring that all credentials, permissions, and access are deactivated the moment an employee leaves. This also helps prevent accidental access to sensitive systems after employment ends.

Scale your infrastructure for peak performance

With the increase in both staff and customer activity, businesses must ensure their UC infrastructure can handle the higher volume of communication. Capacity planning is crucial to prevent slowdowns or disruptions. Review previous years’ data to forecast peak times and allocate sufficient resources, such as bandwidth and server capacity. Scaling up your UC infrastructure, whether through additional cloud resources or upgrading on-premises systems, is essential to avoid bottlenecks during the busy season.

Prioritize network optimization

A sudden increase in network traffic can strain your UC systems, affecting call quality and overall performance. Implement quality of service (QoS) policies to prioritize voice and video communication over other forms of data. Additionally, using real-time network monitoring tools can help IT teams spot potential issues before they affect the user experience. VOSS Insights, for example, offers deep visibility into traffic patterns, allowing you to preemptively address network congestion and ensure smooth operations.

Automate routine management tasks

To minimize delays and errors, automate as many UC management tasks as possible, especially during peak periods. Automated user provisioning, configuration updates, and monitoring not only streamline processes but also reduce the burden on IT teams, allowing them to focus on more critical tasks. Automation helps avoid the need for additional support staff, saving both time and costs during the holiday season.

Harness automation to manage seasonal demands

By focusing on efficient onboarding and offboarding, scaling infrastructure, and automating key processes, you can make sure your UC systems are ready to support the holiday season surge effectively and securely. To learn more about how VOSS can help, please get in touch.
