Over the past year, our world has evolved more rapidly than anyone could have predicted. Change is becoming an everyday practice as we learn to expect the unexpected.
Although a more flexible approach to home and office working has been bubbling away for some time, the pandemic acted as a catalyst fora more definite shift to hybrid working— forcing businesses to accelerate the changes already in motion.
Across almost every industry, organisations have had to quickly adapt their processes and communications systems to facilitate this change. But why not take it one step further and disrupt the telecoms industry like no company has ever done before?
A conventional framework
Any business receiving inbound, external calls is connected to the UK’s public telephone network. Typically, this connection is routed via PBX hardware installed at the business’ premises.However, the shift to remote working has meant many companies have had to consider other solutions to ensure calls are picked up while employees are working from home.
Internally, communications between colleagues have far from suffered (although we probably all miss the regular chats by the kettle!).On the contrary, platforms such as Slack, Zoom and Microsoft Teams have thrived, providing a convenient communication channel via instant messaging, voice or video calling.
Businesses that have engaged in remote working on a more permanent basis will undoubtedly be familiar with Microsoft Teams.This platform has grown exponentially over the past 12 months, increasing from 44 million registered users in March 2020 to 145 MILLION IN APRIL 2021! Teams’ popularity is due primarily to its intuitive nature and variety of features, offering a Cloud-hosted system for files, chats, video calls, meeting scheduling and much more.
While Teams is invaluable to connect with other users, individual accounts can’t be assigned a phone number, meaning nobody outside of your organisation can dial a number to get in contact.
But all of this is about to change.
