Skyrocketing Employee Engagement with Microsoft Teams in a Hybrid World

Rapid Deployment of Modern Work using Microsoft Meetings, Calling & Devices

More than rely on Teams for hybrid work. Including a great deal of 海角乱伦鈥檚 customers who trust our expertise to create a connected experience for end-users adopting a hybrid workforce. Rapid migrations away from traditional telephony solutions fueled our mission to provide both on premise and cloud based Microsoft implementations, upgrades, and migrations.  With the global pandemic, organizations were left scrambling and adopting solutions that weren鈥檛 necessarily part of their strategic plans.  Exiting the pandemic, organizations are now laser-focused on consolidating their communication needs into their overall strategic objectives, primarily Microsoft 365.

As a result, our customers saved nearly $20 million in hard costs by leveraging the resiliency and security of Teams Calling and Meetings. Most importantly, as experts in the innovation of end-to-end solutions, 海角乱伦 offers managed services, and competitive insight for Teams Meeting, Calling and Device solutions for more than 500 global customers leveraging Co-Sell offerings, ECIF, and Fasttrack.

海角乱伦鈥檚 high level of certification, and Microsoft Gold partner status, has enabled us to design and quickly create a path for customers to Microsoft Teams collaboration and meetings. As a result, with nearly 400 nominees from over 100 countries, we are pleased to announce 海角乱伦 was recognized as a Global Winner for 2022 Microsoft Meetings, Calling & Devices for Microsoft Teams Partner of the Year Award.

鈥淭he transition to Teams calling supported by 海角乱伦 was a seamless process. As they provided our existing telephony services, the 海角乱伦C team went to great lengths to identify the voice features we were leveraging and translate that to Teams. As a result, our telephony costs were dramatically reduced as part of this migration, and our end users are benefiting extensively by adopting the voice workload in Teams.鈥
