The coronavirus pandemic opened the business world’s eyes to new ways of working and ushered in the era of a hybrid work environment. Companies have implemented multiple tools to keep remote employees connected and engaged through video conferencing, messaging and chat tools, along with more traditional voice solutions. In addition to standard role responsibilities, employees face a new learning curve to integrate these tools into their workday. The management of multiple applications for a single, simple conversation can have detrimental effects on team productivity. Dialpad for Microsoft Teams centralizes and streamlines employee communications for more efficient, engaged, and ultimately, inclusive teams.

“The Dialpad integration with Microsoft Teams brings the best from both worlds — Microsoft Teams’ collaboration and Dialpad’s voice and real-time artificial intelligence capabilities,” said Ignacio Miranda, IT Vendor Manager, Gategroup. “An easy implementation and trouble-free user experience allows end-users to stay connected from anywhere, on any device, and enjoy a much better experience.”

From small and midsize businesses to large enterprises, organizations need a secure and reliable communications solution that enables seamless internal and external connections. Built for today’s modern hybrid workforce, Dialpad for Microsoft Teams provides a dynamic, flexible, highly scalable and reliable solution that is available on any device, at any time, anywhere in the world.
