Teams Phone for a med-large-size company

Okay. Is Microsoft Teams phone system good for a large company? Does it scale well, the answer is yes. If your company doesn’t need a lot of fancy features for your users. So if you guys don’t need to pull up call reports or you don’t need fancy calling features or you don’t need SMS messaging, you don’t have a call center, things like that. If that’s the case, then teams phone might scale really well for your large company.

Also, if your company uses teams a lot today for instant messaging, you use an operator, connect vendor that has pricing specifically tailored for large companies that ends up equating to around maybe 2 to $4 per month per user. If you have hundreds or thousands of users and your operator connect, vendor can supply you with ATA devices to support analog on the network like overhead paging systems, fax machines, conference rooms, phones, gate access systems, things like that. And if you use an operator connect vendor that can supply you with the add ons that your company might want to have that fill some of the feature gaps that teams phone has, like for instance, operator console software or call recording compliance, call recording record always all the time, always on call recording, also SMS messaging, things like that. So if some of those feature gaps, if your company wants those features but teams phone doesn’t have those features, if you use an operator connect vendor that has them that might be a good fit for you.

If you have an Operator Connect Vendor

And if you use an operator connect vendor who can help you deploy teams phone system. Some operator connect vendors don’t do this very well and some do. Some actually will give you a project manager that will walk you through the whole installation process, help you do a phased approach. Maybe you’re doing one region at a time or one location at a time. If you have a lot of locations, there’s going to be a lot of stuff going on. So it’s nice to have a project manager who’s done this many, many times to walk you through the installation. So having the right operator connect vendor is really important. One that can do those things that I mentioned.

And lastly, teams phone system might scale really well for you if your company already has an E5 license, if your company has Office 365 or I should say Microsoft 365 EA five licensing, that means half the cost of phone system or most of the cost of teams phone system is already being paid for. You don’t have to pay that teams phone standard $8 per month per user fee, so even makes it more enticing. So that’s my advice on why teams phone sticks can scale really well for large businesses, but you’ve got to find the right operator connect vendor to quote. And that’s where I come in, reach out, send me an email, give me a call.
