Key Benefits of Microsoft Teams Voice:

Microsoft Calling Plans

A Microsoft Calling plan is an add-on telephone service that, when combined with Phone System in Office 365, can become the voice solution for your entire organization. Calling Plans provide a primary phone number to make and receive phone calls.

Yorktel’s IT Lifecycle Services consultants understand the nuances of the Microsoft Calling Plans and can help you determine which plan best meets your business objectives. We can help preserve your existing phone numbers and provide comparative pricing analysis for implementing voice services through Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft’s Direct Routing in Teams

Direct Routing allows customers to connect their telecom carrier services directly to Office 365, so users can make and receive calls. It also provides interoperability options between the Microsoft Teams Phone System and 3rd  party systems such as PBXs, call centers, and Analog Telephony Adaptors (ATA), helping preserve key investments.

Yorktel has been configuring Direct Routing since its inception. Our experts can navigate its complexities and ensure best practices for 3rd party solution interoperability. Also, our subscription-based Hosted SBC Service is available globally as an alternative if you prefer not to purchase, install, maintain, and support your own SBC in the Direct Routing Configuration.

Yorktel Connector – Value-Added Voice

Yorktel’s Teams Voice Connector provides a turn-key solution for your voice configuration, leveraging our Hosted SBC with your preferred voice carrier when using Direct Routing for Teams voice functionality. Our Hosted SBC Service offers a single or multi-tenant hosted Microsoft Certified SBC as a subscription service, alleviating the requirement to purchase, implement, maintain, and support your own SBC.

Yorktel Connector offers an appealing and efficient cost structure, leveraging both Microsoft Calling Plans AND  3rd party calling plans. Because Yorktel’s SBC is entirely in Microsoft’s Azure cloud, customers enjoy a more optimized pathway for their real-time media traffic without the hosting fees, management contracts, or 3rd party hardware purchases and maintenance – all factors generating additional cost-savings.
