“In today’s environment, the anywhere workforce is no longer an option; it’s a must for most businesses,” said George Mitsopoulos, Broadvoice’s chief product officer. “Microsoft Teams has grown 275 percent since last fall – from 20 million to 75 million users – as businesses seek to replicate a collaborative office environment with employees who are all working from home. Teams is well known as a hub for messaging and collaboration; what’s missing is enterprise-level voice communications. Broadvoice for Microsoft Teams fills the gap.”

Users can make and take calls directly from the Microsoft Teams application, unifying collaboration, messaging and voice in a single shared workspace. Broadvoice for Microsoft Teams users also have access to b-hive’s advanced calling and call center features, like call routing, auto attendant, call queues, faxing and more.

Broadvoice b-hive and Broadvoice for Microsoft Teams are hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud infrastructure and backed by around-the-clock monitoring and support, enterprise-grade encryption and built-in security.

For a limited time, Broadvoice for Microsoft Teams is available free for the first 30 days with any paid b-hive Cloud PBX seat.
