“It goes all the way back to Microsoft OCS,” says Greg Zweig, Director, Solutions Marketing at Ribbon Communications. Ribbon, a company whose deep telephony roots and IT DNA reach back to the beginnings of telecommunications. The brands and product lines that went into the making of Ribbon, have been aligning with Microsoft’s communications footprint almost from the software giant’s earliest entries into the market. In July, Ribbon announced that Beanfield is leveraging Ribbon Connect for Operator Connect to facilitate and enhance its deployment of Operator Connect for Microsoft Teams.
An as a Service (aaS) solution, Ribbon Connect for Operator Connect offers portal-based administration tools that enable service providers to simplify selling, provisioning, and billing of telecom services, making it easier for businesses to transition from legacy telephony services to Microsoft Teams Phone. Ribbon Connect dramatically reduces the integration efforts typically required to enable Operator Connect by providing pre-assembled API integration, sales enablement, and a multi-tier portal. The Ribbon Connect portfolio is built with Ribbon’s proven carrier-grade security products and services, that are already trusted and deployed in many of the world’s largest telecom networks.
In this podcast, Zweig walks us through the announcement with Beanfield. Zweig offers a deeper look at Ribbon Connect for Operator Connect. We also learn more about the deep technology connections between Ribbon and Microsoft and the literal presence of Ribbon SBCs in Microsoft’s R&D labs. “When they’re doing testing, they’re actually testing their products against ours, with every release cycle.”
