Collaboration and CX

Operator Connect offers so many advantages.

Faster deployment, more automation and greater accessibility, for starters. It’s also more secure, because you use your tenant access, and you can get better support. All these reasons make Operator Connect a great way to add telephony to Microsoft Teams. Should you stick or twist with your current provider? But though you could simply go ahead with your current telco provider, like many other organizations you may wish to use Operator Connect to consolidate your providers – and choose just one telco to go forward with.

So how do you assess for the right fit?

If you look at the list of carriers in the Operator Connect console, you’ll see there are quite a few. Yes, you could look to mix and match providers, but do this and you’ll create a difficult support situation – and you’ll need to manage a far more complex cost of service.

A better approach is to select an operator that sees Microsoft Teams as intrinsic to its business and is very much able to support you and your critical business needs. Choose to deal with just one telco – one that’s well-connected to Microsoft – and you’ll have one support model and one unified service.

And that’s what you want.

You’ll be able to hold them very much accountable to their SLAs. You’ll also find it much easier to support and manage the environment yourself too.
