GAMMA, INCLUDED IN THE MICROSOFT TEAMS CONNECT OPERATOR PROGRAM
Gamma has been inducted into the Microsoft Teams
Operator Connect program by Microsoft in the UK. This agreement will allow companies in the United Kingdom that use Microsoft Teams as a communication and collaboration tool to contract directly for Gamma telephony services through the administration portal of the Teams application. Operator Connect is a new program developed by Microsoft for telephone operators that allows Teams users to send, receive and manage calls with the telephone network from the application itself without the need for conventional telephones or lines. Including Gamma as one of the providers in the Operator Connect program will optimize calling capabilities for Teams users by bridging the gap between their Teams environment and Gamma as their communications operator. Xavier Casajoana, CEO of VozTelecom in Spain , highlights that: “The incorporation of Gamma into the Operator Connect program in the British market will allow companies that already use Teams as a collaboration tool to reach more directly. In turn, VozTelecom in the Spanish market, through the Direct Routing offer as well as the integration of the Centrex virtual switchboard in Teams, allows companies to use the Microsoft collaboration application for all the communications of their employees with the maximum quality and flexibility, with the support of a leading operator in cloud communications and a specialized distribution channel close to customers. " Taimoor Husain, Strategy Lead for GTM, Telcos at Microsoft , says: “We are pleased to welcome Gamma to the Operator Connect program for Microsoft Teams. The inclusion of Gamma among a select number of operators is a testament to the company's extensive experience as one of the UK's leading SIP providers and its expertise in delivering equipment voice solutions. We are pleased to continue working with them to create an integrated calling experience for all Teams users. ”
