“However, for many, adopting Microsoft Teams can be a challenge—especially given that shifting from a remote workplace model to a hybrid model can add all kinds of additional complexity and uncertainty”

Aside from the newly introduced Microsoft functionality, SMACS 7.0 will also debut updated features and functionality including built-in business intelligence (BI) modules, out-of-the-box processes to accelerate and simplify provisioning, and the ability to customize processes based entirely on individual business needs.

“It’s no surprise that companies are quickly adopting Microsoft Teams as their collaboration and communications platform of choice,” said Steven Karachinsky, CEO of Stack8. “From improving workforce efficiency, to enhancing productivity and more, Teams is now the go-to choice of the world’s leading organizations.”

“However, for many, adopting Microsoft Teams can be a challenge—especially given that shifting from a remote workplace model to a hybrid model can add all kinds of additional complexity and uncertainty,” he adds. “We have solved that challenge. After a decade of successfully helping Cisco customers to simplify and enhance their Unified Communications, we now do the exact same thing for users wishing to use Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Teams Calling, and Microsoft Teams Direct Routing. Best of all, our services and our SMACS software continue to ensure that any implementation is 100% hassle-free.”

With SMACS 7.0, even users with limited technical knowledge can enjoy a multitude of benefits including offloading of costly and redundant moves, adds, changes and deletes, as well as daily management to the Help Desk. The simple and highly intuitive interface will enable any provisioning within seconds.

Furthermore, the software also eliminates long and expensive development times for creating customized and automated workflows. Version 7.0 now enables users of any skill level to immediately implement out-of-the-box functionality and integrations; as well as create custom workflows in systems relating to HR, ITSM (ServiceNow) and more—reducing typical workflow from hours to mere seconds.

Further to the upcoming release of SMACS 7.0, Stack8 continues to offer its renowned, world-class services designed to mitigate risk and complexity—enabling customers to operate the entirety of their Unified Communications in a completely hassle-free manner regardless of their chosen tools or service providers.
