As you probably heard by now, Skype for Business is retiring on July 31, 2021. Microsoft has not been shy about this announcement because they have a far superior replacement…Microsoft Teams.
If you’re already using Office 365 and Microsoft Teams, then hopefully you’re enjoying the many benefits of the modern workplace – easy, online access to your files and business applications from any device, and a plethora of collaboration and communication features to enhance your employee productivity and ultimately your customer satisfaction.
Now available through Microsoft Teams is Microsoft Phone System & Calling Plans.
Microsoft Phone System is a license add-on that gives your employees the ability to make and receive external phone calls from within Teams.
By adopting Microsoft Phone System & Calling Plans, you can retire your old phone system and move to a cloud phone solution that lets you make and receive calls from your PC, handset, or mobile device – all at a significant cost reduction.
Here are several more benefits to using Microsoft phone system with Teams:

Access to this phone is highly secured using the Microsoft 365 Security Stack
