8x8 for Microsoft Teams

 

2021 saw the rise of the cloud platform approach to telephony, contact centre and workforce collaboration

How Microsoft Teams can benefit your organisation

Beyond cost savings, Local Government organisations are moving towards platforms because the uncertain economy and health environment is forcing them to extract maximum value from their tech investments, now perhaps more than ever.


Enabling working from home is not enough in 2022.  Organisations want their apps to integrate seamlessly and support application programming interfaces (APIs) to introduce new capabilities.  This is what platforms do best.


To help you better understand these platform trends, particularly how Microsoft Teams can impact your organisation, 8x8 commissioned Hanover Research to study how IT decision-makers feel about Microsoft Teams' direct routing solutions, both for office workers and contact centres.

When the pandemic hit, many organisations started remote work programmes by leveraging Microsoft Teams to keep their employees working.  The interest pendulum has swung toward the Contact Center now as customer experience and ecommerce reemerge as top priorities.  Voice solutions for Teams in the Contact Centre will be huge in the coming year.  Still, companies need to support their office workers.  Unified-Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) has traditionally been separate from Contact-Centre-as-a-Service (CCaaS) but the distinctions are blurring.  We are no longer advising customers to keep them separate.  Customers want a single bucket for all their cloud communications.
