Full PBX feature set (transfer, park, hunt groups, IVR, call recording) available directly from Teams
- New Device Group Strategy – One extension across desk phones, softphones, and Teams
Mobility across devices – desktop, mobiles, tablet
Softphone capabilities that extend Teams beyond basic calling
Lower cost alternative to Microsoft Calling Plans or Operator Connect (no E5 lic. requirement – cost saving!)
Ideal for hybrid workforces needing mobility and enterprise telephony
Unified identity – users keep their Teams login while gaining full UCX telephony
- Further functionality availability with UCX’s solution
Value for Service Providers/ Carriers and MSP/ Resellers
Enables Teams‑based UCaaS offerings without relying on Microsoft’s telephony ecosystem
Creates new revenue streams through Teams‑integrated voice services
Provides a differentiated mobility solution that competitors cannot easily match
Allows Service Providers to deliver enterprise‑grade telephony inside Teams at a fraction of the cost
Outcome:
This integration positions E‑MetroTel as a strategic UC&C partner for service providers targeting Microsoft‑centric customers (Greenfield opportunities)
This strategy works very well for Green Migration customers who wants Teams/ PBX integration benefits which they could not have with their legacy/ EOL system
