Microsoft Teams Operator Connect is a feature that allows organizations to integrate their existing phone systems with Microsoft Teams. It enables third-party operators or carriers to directly connect to Teams, providing seamless calling experiences between Teams users and external phone networks.
While regular Teams calling features focus on internal and external calls using Microsoft’s infrastructure, Operator Connect goes a step further. It enables external operators to connect directly to Teams, maintaining your existing phone system’s capabilities while seamlessly integrating them into the Teams environment.
The main benefits of using Operator Connect include leveraging your existing phone system’s capabilities within Microsoft Teams, maintaining investments in on-premises infrastructure, and retaining familiarity with existing operator services. It also streamlines communications by eliminating the need for separate calling systems, providing cost savings, centralizing collaboration tools, and enhancing user experience.
The specific requirements will vary depending on your current phone system and infrastructure. Generally, you’ll need to have an established relationship with a supported third-party operator, suitable network configurations, and the necessary technical expertise to set up the integration. Aura, as a certified partner, can assist with this integration.
While there might be technical requirements based on your existing setup, Microsoft Teams Operator Connect is designed to work within the Teams platform, so no additional hardware is usually needed. Your existing phones and network equipment should suffice, as the integration happens at the operator’s level.
Yes, Operator Connect allows you to connect with both external phone networks and traditional landlines. This capability enables you to maintain communication with individuals and organizations outside of your Teams environment without needing to switch between different systems.
