This document discusses integrating Microsoft Teams with Agile Cloud's Direct Routing and contact center capabilities. It describes how Teams can be used for internal collaboration as well as external calling through Direct Routing. This avoids expensive calling plans. The contact center can then be integrated with Teams to allow customer service via various channels and enable agents to collaborate using Teams. Sprints are proposed to quickly build Teams voice, a contact center, and advanced applications over 10-20 day iterations with no upfront capital costs.
2. Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is an excellent collaboration tool that
brings people across businesses together in a single
application.
Whilst Teams provides world-class capabilities to drive
collaboration within your organisation; however, when
using Teams for calling outside of your organisation,
costs soon skyrocket with expensive calling plans and
other additional add-ons.
3. Microsoft Teams with Direct Routing
Agile Cloud’s Teams Direct Routing, enables your
employees to communicate seamlessly with contacts
outside your Teams environment: customers, partners,
suppliers and beyond.
Using the same Teams interface on either mobile or
desktop, your employees can make or receive calls with
people outside your Teams environment.
Agile Cloud’s Teams Direct Routing means no need for
costly call plans.
4. Integrating Teams into your Contact Centre
Align every employee
to deliver the best
customer experience
FourNet takes Teams beyond
internal employee collaboration by
integrating Teams into the contact
centre. Our multi-channel contact
centre capabilities provide your
customers access to your contact
centre agents via their channel of
choice; the Microsoft Teams shared
workspace then enables your agent
to effortlessly engage back-office
experts to provide the best
resolution available for each
customer contact.
5. Agile Cloud for Teams integrates directly with Microsoft Phone System via Direct Routing so employees can use Teams
to make calls to people within a Teams environment or to external contacts via the PSTN – same simple interface of
making and receiving calls. Whether they use the Teams app on their mobile or desktop.
