Microsoft Teams has become an important platform for organizations looking to bring calling, meetings, messaging, collaboration, and business communications together. But moving a company's phone system into MicrosoftTeams involves much more than assigning licenses and making a few configuration changes.
For organizations replacing an existing PBX, moving from another communications provider, deploying Microsoft Teams Phone for the first time, or expanding an existing Teams environment, proper planning and technical execution can make a significant difference.
UCC Networks Microsoft Teams Professional Services provides the project management, technical expertise, deployment assistance, training, and ongoing support organizations need to plan and manage their Teams communications environment.
From the initial discovery meeting through deployment and ongoing administration, UCC Networks can serve as a technical resource throughout the project.
What Are Microsoft Teams Professional Services?
Microsoft Teams Professional Services are designed to help organizations plan, configure, deploy, and manage their Microsoft Teams communications environment.
A Teams deployment can involve much more than Microsoft Teams itself. Organizations may need to coordinate:
UCC Networks brings these components together under a structured professional services engagement.
Start With Technical Discovery
A successful Teams Phone deployment begins before the first configuration is made.
UCC Networks starts with technical discovery to understand the customer's current environment, business requirements, users, locations, phone numbers, devices, carriers, and existing telephone system.
The discovery process may include:
This information becomes the foundation for the project plan.
Rather than approaching every Teams deployment the same way, UCC Networks works with the organization to determine what needs to be configured, migrated, tested, and supported.
Microsoft Teams Phone Deployment
One of the most important components of a Teams communications project is Microsoft Teams Phone.
UCC Networks can assist with the technical configuration required toconnect business calling to Microsoft Teams.
Depending on the customer's environment, services may include:
The deployment process is designed around the customer's existing environment and business requirements.
Phone Number Porting
Moving phone numbers is one of the most important parts of a Teams Phone deployment.
Organizations may have hundreds or thousands of business numbers that need to move from an existing carrier or phone system.
A number-porting project can include:
UCC Networks can coordinate the porting process as part of the broader Teams deployment.
Call Queues and Auto Attendants
Many organizations depend on more than individual user extensions.
Departments such as sales, customer service, reception, billing, and support may rely on call queues and automated attendants to direct incoming calls.
UCC Networks can assist with configuring:
These configurations are developed based on how the organization wants incoming calls to be handled.
Microsoft Teams Tenant Administration
Teams Phone is only one component of the Microsoft environment.
UCC Networks can also assist with Microsoft 365 and Teams tenant administration, including areas such as:
For organizations that do not have sufficient internal resources to manage these responsibilities, professional services can provide additional technical capacity.
End-User Training
A successful deployment does not end when the technology is configured.
Employees need to understand how to use Microsoft Teams for their daily communications.
UCC Networks can provide training for:
Training may cover common functions such as:
Training can be incorporated into the deployment schedule to help employees prepare before the system goes live.
Deployment and Migration
Once discovery, planning, configuration, and testing are complete, the project can move into deployment.
Depending on the customer's requirements, UCC Networks can assist with:
For organizations with multiple locations, the deployment can be structured in phases.
A phased rollout can allow the organization to test the environment withan initial group before expanding to additional users or locations.
Ongoing Microsoft Teams Support
The work does not necessarily end after deployment.
Organizations may need ongoing assistance as employees join or leave the company, departments change, phone numbers are added, locations are opened, and business requirements evolve.
UCC Networks can provide ongoing tenant management and technical support for Microsoft Teams environments.
Support can include:
Organizations can also use professional services as an extension of their existing IT team when additional Microsoft Teams expertise is needed.
Flexible Professional Services
Every organization has different requirements.
Some businesses need assistance with a complete Teams Phone deployment. Others may already have an internal IT department but need help with a specific migration, number port, SBC configuration, or complex voice environment.
UCC Networks offers professional services models that can be structured around the customer's requirements, including project-based engagements, blocks of professional services hours, recurring support, and staff augmentation.
This allows organizations to bring in additional expertise when and where it is needed.
