Teams Direct Routing
The power of a business phone system combined with Office 365 and Microsoft teams.
Cloud based calling, together with chat and meetings in a single app, Microsoft Teams.
Office 365 and Microsoft Teams is a great all-in-one collaboration platform…unless you want to make or receive calls from clients or customers outside of your organisation.
Many businesses end up paying far more than they need to for a modern VoIP telephony system on top of their Teams subscription just to make and receive normal business calls.
Our solution enables you to combine your Teams system with a business phone system so you can seamlessly make calls using a desk phone or from within the Microsoft Teams interface.
How does our Direct Routing solution work?
Our Direct Routing solution connects your Teams environment to the public telephone network so you can make and receive low cost calls.
What is the Microsoft Phone System?
Microsoft Phone System adds PBX functionality and features that converts Microsoft Teams into a true unified communications platform.
Combined with our Direct Routing solution it adds the ability to make and receive calls through the public telephone network from directly within the Microsoft Teams environment.
What Microsoft Teams licence do I need to have?
Direct Routing works with Office 365 Business Premium, Business Essentials and the following Enterprise Licenses; E1, E3 and E5.
What is Business Voice?
Business Voice is the Microsoft service add on that is requried to enable Direct Routing within Business Essentials and Business Premium Licenses.
