Odido simplifies link between landline telephony and Microsoft Teams

Odido is the first of the three national operators to offer Operator Connect. The new connectivity solution, provided in conjunction with Microsoft Teams, makes it easier for organisations to link landline phone numbers to Microsoft Teams. This allows employees to make and receive calls from any device and at any time. The solution eliminates the need to make calls from landline phones. To IT managers the innovation means new opportunities for managing company telephony and smarter and more hybrid working, without the need for large investments.

Operator Connect is Odido’s response to the growing demand for future-proof connectivity solutions that allow employees to work together in the best hybrid way. Staff working hybrid has increased significantly during and after corona and, as a result, organisations are constantly looking for work process optimisations. Adding landline phone numbers to Microsoft Teams, will improve communication with customers and relations and working together with colleagues will be easier. Employees can now decide when, how and on which device they can be reached. This ensures more efficiency and higher productivity.

Simple and cost-saving
Operator Connect can be activated quickly, be implemented independently and is easy for IT Managers to manage. Adding fixed phone numbers to users in Teams takes just a few clicks. As a result, organisations save on the high investment and maintenance costs of a physical PBX. Operator Connect is designed exclusively for Microsoft partners to accelerate innovation and link to future developments.

Total solutions
Léon Toet, Odido’s CCO B2B, explains: "It is our goal to be the Customer Champion of the business market. Our new positioning, as a provider of total solutions for the business market, involves cooperation with partners such as Microsoft. These parties are essential for serving our business customers in the best way. Hybrid working boomed in recent years. This new challenge to both employees and IT Managers of organisations calls for solutions that ensure employees work together in the best way. We are proud to be the first of the three national operators to offer a solution."

Hermien Roebersen, Partner Lead at Microsoft, is also pleased with the partnership of Microsoft and Odido: Microsoft Teams has become the most widely used application for hybrid work. Organisations that want to simplify ICT bring all forms of communication together in Microsoft Teams. Through their extensive knowledge and experience in fixed and mobile communication services Odido is a reliable partner for these organisations. Thanks to Operator Connect, Odido offers an easier way to deploy and manage Teams Telephony with improved support and reliability.
