Sipcom has launched its new HALO Operator Connect for Microsoft Teams solution in the UK.
With plans to expand the product globally in the future, HALO Operator Connect will empower businesses to integrate Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) calling into Teams, producing a cost-effective and unified communications experience.
Eleri Gibbon, Director (UK), Global Partner Solutions at Microsoft, said:
At Microsoft, we're thrilled to partner with Sipcom, an Advania Company, to bring our Partners and their customers the benefits of Operator Connect. With Sipcom's expertise in voice and collaboration solutions, combined with Microsoft Teams' powerful capabilities, businesses can enjoy a seamless communication experience unlike any other. We're excited to see how this partnership will transform the way organisations connect with their customers and partners."
HALO Operator Connect is a cloud-based solution devoid of the need for initial investments in hardware or software, offering businesses a streamlined alternative by avoiding the complexities associated with a self-assembled solution. By circumventing laborious project setups and infrastructure configurations, HALO Operator Connect enhances connectivity throughout the workforce, encouraging virtual collaboration across devices and locations within the framework of HALO Solutions for Teams.
This method simplifies the provisioning and oversight of PSTN calling, allowing businesses to centralize their PSTN calling requirements through a singular portal. Prioritizing voice quality, HALO Operator Connect ensures superior voice calling through a cloud-based voice network. This network is meticulously crafted to deliver crystal-clear voice quality, even across extensive distances, elevating the communication experience for businesses.
“We're thrilled with the addition of Operator Connect to our HALO platform,” added Mike Harvey, Product Director at Sipcom. “This will create even more value for our Channel partners and their customers with continued alignment to the Microsoft voice strategy."
HALO Operator Connect is predicated on the consideration of Sipcom's Channel partners, offering an accessible market entry for organizations unable to assume the role of a direct Operator Connect Partner. This innovative approach empowers them to effectively resell HALO alongside Sipcom's array of voice services.
Designed as a scalable solution adaptable to businesses of diverse sizes, HALO seamlessly incorporates PSTN calling into Microsoft Teams through Operator Connect, producing a next-gen calling experience. Streamlining administrative tasks, the platform enables easy selection and authorization of HALO as the preferred operator, accessible through a straightforward click on the HALO tile within the Microsoft Teams Admin Centre.
