Written by YANIV KITLARU | Jul 11, 2024 1:06:00 PM

In today’s fast-paced business environment, seamless communication and collaboration are pivotal. Enterprises seek to unify their communication platforms to enhance productivity and customer satisfaction. However, many organizations face challenges integrating their unified communications (UC) and contact center solutions, resulting in communication silos, suboptimal user experiences and having to deal with multiple vendors.

The Rise (and Rise!) of Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams has become a cornerstone of modern business communication, offering robust cloud-based Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) capabilities. But despite its widespread adoption, Teams alone does not fulfill all the requirements for a complete contact center solution.
