Platform-Level Solution Natively Integrates the Market-Leading Collaboration Features of Microsoft Teams with the Call Control, Reliability and Enterprise Communications Features of Cisco Voice

Evolve IP, the world’s leading provider of remote working cloud solutions, announced that it has partnered with Pax8, the leader in cloud distribution, to provide Evolve Teams with Enterprise Voice to their network of more than 10,000 Managed Service Providers (MSPs) in North America. The agreement enables MSPs to offer their clients a platform-level solution that natively integrates the best features of the world’s leading collaboration service, Microsoft Teams, with the call control, reliability, and enterprise business services of the number one VoIP communications platform from Cisco.

“We’re thrilled to join with Pax8 and its partner community to enable their clients to work anywhere,” said Guy Fardone, CEO and Founding Partner of Evolve IP. “We believe this represents a great opportunity for all as Microsoft Teams is, and will continue to be, the leading collaboration tool businesses want to deploy. By adding the reliability of integrated Cisco voice communications, Pax8 partners can provide significant value to their extensive base of clients that are already fully-invested in the Microsoft ecosystem.”

The unique offering leverages Microsoft Teams Direct Routing and a platform-level integration of Cisco communications enabling seamless Teams collaboration with advanced voices services, including forwarding calls off network, crystal-clear voice quality, and a proven history of 99.999 reliability. The combination provides partners with all of the features their clients need to take advantage of Microsoft Teams, while also supporting the needs of non-Teams users and contact centers — ultimately making businesses and their employees more productive, mobile, and secure.

“Now more than ever, it is critical for partners to provide their clients with remote working flexibility,” said Andrew Pryfogle, Chief Market Development Officer at Pax8.  “Evolve Teams with Enterprise voice ensures that partners have access to the best features for collaboration, voice services, and features that are essential in today’s working environment.”
