Ribbon Communications Session Border Controllers Enable Microsoft Teams to Deliver Integrated Voice Services to Global Customer Base
Teams is the hub for teamwork in Microsoft Office 365 that allows users to easily chat, share files, data and conduct meetings online to improve productivity. Previously external calling was only available from Microsoft's Calling Plans for Phone Systems in select markets. Ribbon's SBC portfolio enables Microsoft customers to now also leverage their TDM or SIP Trunks for PSTN and PBX voice calling in the Teams client interface natively. This capability allows customers to globally adopt Teams as their modern workspace collaboration tool, while seamlessly integrating voice services.
"We want to make the workplace collaboration and communications experience as feature-rich and easily accessible as possible," said Nikolay Muravlyannikov, Senior Program Manager for Microsoft. "Direct Routing for Teams enables us to provide our customers with the ability to intuitively integrate high quality voice services in their Teams environment anywhere in the world, creating an even more powerful workplace productivity, collaboration and communications tool."
"We are pleased to be a longstanding, key partner delivering best-in-class voice services via the newly available Microsoft Direct Routing for Teams," said
"NuWave is excited to work closely with Ribbon to deliver our customers advanced voice services to Teams' already rich collaboration capabilities," said
