Seven Key Questions to Unleash the Power of Microsoft Telephony   

• Have you assigned numbers and provided Microsoft Teams-certified devices for everyone or VIPs? Number assignment is the way to get users started with Teams voice features. With a Teams device it can be even easier with a single click to connect and with a familiar phone experience. You may find that you want to only support assigned numbers for executives and VIPs and use soft phone VOIP for other users.
• Have you enabled audio conferencing and/or cloud compliance recording to add flexibility to meetings with dial-in numbers?
  Ever tried joining a conference call, but the wifi signal was poor and wish you could just dial in? Not an uncommon request. It’s helpful to have numbers assigned for those who run regular reoccurring meetings.
• Have you implemented Microsoft cloud virtual PBX or will you be using direct routing?
  You can leverage your existing telecom SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) trunks or integrate a virtual PBX for the switch.

• Have you decided on a Microsoft calling plan or are you planning on using your existing phone system?
  Your long distance carrier at work can be integrated or you can switch to the Microsoft Calling Plans available in numerous locations (18 different countries as of today).
• Have you implemented call queues, auto attendant, and contact center integration for your help desk?
  From automated attendant, custom greetings to hold music with call queues and integration with existing contact center products, there are a broad range of features for your call center or help desk.
• Have you implemented dynamic emergency calling?
  Once you configure your e911 system in Teams, emergency calls can be route emergency personnel to the location of your offices based on dynamic emergency calling leveraging the LIS protocol which includes information for subnets of the clients.
• Have you educated the organization on cloud voicemail?
  Adoption of the Teams Voice features for calling and voicemail can delight users with powerful features, like transcription of speech to text for voicemails and more.
