5 Reasons You Need Operator Connect and Calling Services for Microsoft Teams

Turn Microsoft Teams into a phone system with collaboration, continuity, and easy user management. Implementing Operator Connect means you can say goodbye to managing and maintaining an onsite or cloud-based PBX (private branch exchange) system, while simplifying user management on the Microsoft cloud-based PBX.

Microsoft Teams is the industry-leading communications and collaboration tool. I think it only gets better when delivered via Fusion Connect's Operator Connect portal, which allows businesses to seamlessly integrate calling capabilities into Microsoft Teams.

Operator Connect is the next-generation of Direct Routing, allowing clients to self-provision adding Fusion Connect’s voice calling (known technically as PSTN, public switched telephone network, with public telephone numbers) for their users in the Microsoft Teams environment enabling companies to turn Teams into a business phone system.

1 Easy Implementation and Fast Adoption

Microsoft Teams, delivered via Operator Connect, truly unifies employees on a single platform for collaboration, calling, messaging, video meetings, and file sharing. Whether in the office, traveling, or working from home, employees will love the seamless calling through Teams. They can make and receive calls to anyone, no matter what device their contact is using—even traditional landline phones. This can help your company eliminate other, often redundant communication and collaboration applications in your environment such as PBXs and other phone systems, and take full advantage of your Microsoft 365 licensing. Save money and the hassle of supporting yet another app!

With our managed implementation support for Microsoft Teams Voice Calling, you don't need to worry about a thing. Fusion Connect takes care of system configuration, technical staff training, and service activation. An automated set of tools makes it easy to get started quickly.

2 Simplified Administration

With Fusion Connect's Operator Connect for Microsoft Teams, you'll have access to a self-serve administrative portal for managing your users. Fusion Connect’s enhanced management portal simplifies the Microsoft administration console, allowing administrators to manage phone numbers and deploy new Microsoft Teams seats in real-time and on demand. No need to rely on Microsoft or technology vendors to add, edit, or delete users.

Authorized users can also easily assign country-specific phone numbers for their entire team anytime. Phone numbers are available in the US, Canada, Mexico, and more than a dozen European countries. This will expand more broadly internationally throughout 2023 into additional countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific.
