"Microsoft Teams for Digital Phone by o2" is a bolt-on that supplements the "telephone system" service with a Voice over IP (VoIP) interface into Microsoft phone aystem. Microsoft Teams for Digital Phone by o2 uses Microsoft’s Direct Routing solution to enable PSTN services from within Microsoft Teams.
Using Microsoft Teams for Digital Phone by o2, customers get a true enterprise voice solution, featuring a host of intelligent telephony features provided by the o2 telephone system, within the familiar Microsoft environment, which can be accessed from any location and any device, enabling better collaboration and improved productivity.
The Microsoft Teams clients are used as softphones connected to the o2 platform (via the Microsoft Phone System and Direct Routing), which allow users to leverage the enterprise telephony features that come with Digital Phone (e.g. Queue and ACD routing, Contact Centre, etc.).
The deployment and configuration of the Microsoft Teams Apps is done from the Microsoft 365 / Office 365 Teams Admin Centre, a familiar interface to most IT Departments, while the integration between the o2 Platform and the Microsoft Phone System is configured via PowerShell, which can be done by your Microsoft Partner.
The required o2 components to enable this integration with the o2 telephone system can be ordered via a separate order form from o2.
