Gamma has joined the Operator Connect for Microsoft Teams programme.
Operator Connect is a new operator-managed programme from Microsoft designed to enable seamless and integrated PSTN calling to Teams.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, Teams has seen steady growth and now has nearly 250 million monthly active users.
Chris Wade, Chief Marketing and Product Officer at Gamma, said: “We’re proud to be part of the Operator Connect for Microsoft Teams programme and to continue to work closely with Microsoft to deliver enhanced calling capabilities within Teams.
“Gamma already has a long and rich heritage in delivering IP Voice services in the UK. We were the first Carrier to truly embrace IP and have built a position as the UK’s No.1 SIP provider, with over a third of businesses trusting Gamma to carry their voice traffic. Over the past decade, we’ve been supporting Microsoft services through various previous iterations, including Lync and Skype for Business. Teams is one of the most successful incarnations of UC that Microsoft has given us.
“By combining our expertise and reliability with Microsoft’s operator-managed service, our customers will benefit from a reliable and secure service to easily maximise value from their Microsoft Teams environment.”
Building on over 15 years’ experience in delivering voice solutions for Microsoft, Gamma’s inclusion as one of a select number of providers in the Operator Connect programme will streamline calling capabilities for Teams users by bridging the gap between their Teams environment and Gamma as their operator.
Customers will simply need to select Gamma as their operator and assign phone numbers to users through the Teams admin center, reducing deployment and management complexity.
