Choosing Teams Phone Means Choosing Twice Among the Four Top Vendors: ATEL Communications & TMBG.news helps you choose!
In today's fast-paced business environment, the integration of Microsoft Teams Phone is more than just an upgrade; it's a strategic decision that can significantly impact your communication infrastructure. UniVoIP and Pure IP, two of the top four Teams Phone vendors highlight the advantages of direct integration and the absence of call connection delays.
To avoid Teams Phone "buyers remorse", it's crucial for IT decision makers and technology managers to understand the differences between the direct approach of UniVoIP/Pure IP and the indirect approach of RingCentral/8x8.
ATEL Communications, a business information & communications technology ("ICT") integration distributor with 40 years experience serving San Diego's largest businesses has partnered with TMBG.news to help enterprise businesses migrate to Teams Phone after carefully reviewing all options utilizing our proprietary Teams Phone Options Self Discovery Checklist.
Direct or Indirect? How to Choose Between the Two Best of Each Choice?
UniVoIP & Pure IP's direct connection to Microsoft’s infrastructure offers a seamless experience, bypassing the delays caused by the UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) transfer methods used by RingCentral and 8x8.
On the other hand, RingCentral and 8x8 have their strengths, offering comprehensive features, extensive global reach, and cost-effective solutions. Pure IP stands out with its focus on security, global coverage, and flexibility.
