Odido to be the first Dutch provider to offer Teams Phone Mobile

As a provider of customized total solutions for the business market, Odido aims to enable a new level of mobile integration. This allows entrepreneurial Netherlands to work optimally in a hybrid manner. Therefore, Odido will be the first Dutch provider to offer Teams Phone Mobile. With this new connectivity solution, Microsoft integrates the Teams environment with Odido's mobile network. This enables employees to use both mobile calling and Teams features with a single business number. This leads to increased efficiency and flexibility in the hybrid workplace, along with centralized management of mobile and Teams telephony for IT managers. The new solution is expected to be available in the second half of this year. 

Odido's customized solutions focus on three main themes, including smarter working. Within this theme, facilitating hybrid working is central. Good accessibility is crucial here. Combining remote work and office work is also particularly popular. According to research by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), in 2023, as much as 52% of all workers did this regularly. Employers are constantly looking for ways to optimize workflows and increase efficiency and productivity. By offering Teams Phone Mobile, Odido responds to the growing demand for flexible and modern connectivity solutions in the hybrid work environment. Earlier, Odido also offered Operator Connect as the first Dutch provider.

Lower costs and increased productivity 
By providing employees with a single business number for their mobile phone and Teams, they can seamlessly switch between devices without having to log in again to different applications. Users have a single call history, allowing them to take calls on any device and effortlessly switch between devices during a call. Moreover, the availability status is synchronized between Teams and the phone network, providing an overview of all business contact moments. 

The seamless integration between existing Teams environments and Odido's network is the only mobile integration supported by Microsoft 365. This renders external applications unnecessary. Central management of phone and Teams calls on one platform also reduces administrative costs for IT managers, as they only need to manage one system. Additionally, Teams Phone Mobile meets the highest security standards, allowing companies to rely on a secure communication environment.

Customized Total Solutions 
Martijn Teekens, Chief Commercial Officer Enterprise at Odido: "As a provider of customized total solutions, we aim to relieve entrepreneurial Netherlands of connectivity burdens so that they can fully focus on their own business operations. In order to deliver the best customer experience and service, we collaborate with reputable partners such as Microsoft to enable a new level of mobile integration. Thanks in part to our strong partner network, we once again succeed in being the first in the market to offer a connectivity solution, allowing us to better serve our business customers."

Hermien Roebersen, Partner Lead at Microsoft Netherlands, also welcomes the new opportunities that the collaboration between Microsoft and Odido brings: "With Teams Phone Mobile, organizations can provide their hybrid workers with a better mobile experience that meets the organization's security and compliance rules. Organizations can also reduce costs by consolidating technology. Thanks to Odido's experience with both Microsoft Teams telephony and fixed and mobile communication, they can bring communication together into an integrated experience.
