User provisioning made easy

Streamline UC provisioning: automate user onboarding and offboarding

2023 UC awards VOSS - Highly Commended Best Microsoft Teams Solution

The Challenge

While the Microsoft Teams’ Admin Center and associated PowerShell offer basic management tools, they may not be enough for larger, more complex enterprises. To access features like self-service, role-based access control, flexible reporting, and real-time insights, you’ll need to invest in a third-party management tool.

The Solution

Automation is crucial for streamlining the delivery and operational management of Microsoft Teams.This is especially true for onboarding and offboarding new team members. With VOSS automation, you can:

  • Simplify the user onboarding and offboarding process
  • Manage multi-step workflows at the click of a button
  • Allow self-service for local tasks
  • Keep control with role-based access control (RBAC) and audit logs
  • Track usage and adoption with analytics
  • Control operating costs through cost reporting

VOSS Automation – New Joiners

Intuitive workflows With VOSS workflows, onboarding new users becomes effortless and streamlined. Simply select users from the Active Directory and assign them a service profile or persona. You can configure basic features, such as contact numbers, and the workflow will handle the rest, keeping an audit trail of the changes. Bulk onboarding is also supported in the same user-friendly manner.
Personas to match user roles Each user can be assigned a persona, known as a Quick Add Group, to ensure consistent and simplified user configuration. These personas contain the necessary Microsoft Teams policy settings.
Self-service for local administrators The workflow can be triggered from the service desk, a local administrator, or integrated with your existing onboarding process through ServiceNow. RBAC controls ensure that simple requests are handled by local administrators, while complex changes are managed centrally.
Analytics for tracking usage and adoption Once users are onboarded, VOSS Insights helps track their adoption and usage of Microsoft Teams, ensuring a quick transition to productivity. Detailed dashboards and reports allow for easy drill-down into specific teams or groups of new users.
Number management made easy Telephone numbers are managed centrally in a dedicated number database, ensuring efficient allocation during the onboarding workflow.
Integration with existing systems for a complete view In addition to Microsoft Teams, VOSS can integrate with existing systems like on-premises PBX systems, providing a comprehensive view and management of your collaboration tools. You can seamlessly move services from older systems to Microsoft Teams for a unified environment.
Cost audit to streamline costs Usage data, including call records, can be collected from both Microsoft Teams and legacy systems for analytics and cost reporting. This enables streamlined management and reduction of monthly operating costs.
Management reporting Flexible reports in various formats can be generated, scheduled, and automatically distributed for management reporting purposes.
