Teams becomes a telephone workstation
Employees already use Teams for chats and meetings. Business calls should take place in the same work environment.
Connect Microsoft Teams to the public telephone network: peoplefone connection, phone numbers, licenses and introduction from a single source.

All peoplefone solutionsExample situations – we tailor the specific implementation to your requirements.
Employees already use Teams for chats and meetings. Business calls should take place in the same work environment.
A reception distributes calls to various specialists. Representation and accessibility are described together before the change.
Phone numbers and special connections must be taken into account. A pilot and a coordinated change plan create a reliable basis.
A Teams meeting with colleagues is not the same as a call to a regular phone number. Suitable telephone system functions and a connection to the telephone network are required for business telephony. That’s why we check the Microsoft and provider services together before making the switch.
peoplefone provides different integration paths. It’s not just the number of employees that is important: special devices, existing systems, desired communication channels and responsibilities within the company also play a role. The selection is made after a joint request recording.
A transition has been successful if customers continue to reach the right person. We document the most important routes from the main number to the representative. This also clarifies what should happen outside opening hours or in the event of a disruption.
A small team with different roles tests the planned solution. Reception, employees who make frequent calls and mobile users bring different perspectives. The experiences flow into the final setup and introduction for the entire team.
One-off implementation and ongoing support are agreed separately and comprehensibly. You know what services are included.
We clarify your requirements and record the current status.
We define the scope, those responsible and the order of implementation.
We set up the solution and check the agreed use cases.
We hand over the documentation and coordinate further support.
This needs to be checked. Teams collaboration and PBX functions are different services. The connection to the telephone network and telephone numbers are also part of the complete model.
With Operator Connect, a supported operator is integrated into the Microsoft environment. Direct routing connects Teams to the telephone network via a session border controller. Which variant is suitable depends on the requirements and responsibilities.
We check portability, contract terms and deadlines. A takeover is coordinated with the provider and the planned change date.
Not necessarily. The selection depends on the tasks and supported devices. PC and headset can be useful; A suitable desk phone is an option for certain roles.
In particular, incoming and outgoing calls, main numbers, forwarding and substitutions. Special devices and failure scenarios are discussed separately.
