FAQs

01

Microsoft Teams on its own can support customer service operations in a variety of ways. With Teams as your hub for both internal and external customer interactions, you can utilise chat, video meetings, and calling to provide an omnichannel customer experience. 

Teams also includes Auto Attendants, Call Queuing, and shared voicemail. So, although it’s not a true native contact centre, it does offer features that can support your customer service teams effectively. 

Microsoft Teams can be utilised for true modern contact centre use when integrated with Dynamics 365 Contact Centre, Anywhere365, Enghouse Interactive Communications Center (EICC), Cisco Webex and other 3rd party vendor products.

For organisations that want solutions with business tools and workflows to drive the customer journey, contact centre integration for Microsoft Teams allows Contact Centre as a Service (CCaaS) solution providers to integrate their solutions into Teams. This integration can help optimise customer engagement with an easy, seamless experience.

There are three models to choose from to integrate a contact centre solution into Teams:

  • Connect model: Uses Microsoft certified SBCs and Direct Routing to connect contact centre solutions to Teams Phone System infrastructure.
  • Extend model: Uses Azure Bots and the Microsoft Graph Communication APIs to enable solution providers to create Teams apps.
  • Power model: Uses an SDK that enables solution providers to embed native Teams experiences in their App.

These models enable enhanced routing, configuration, and system insights. Agents can set up automated virtual assistants and skill-based routing queues to gather information and connect customers with subject matter experts.

A Microsoft Teams contact centre solution can be a catalyst for improved customer service, largely due to their omnichannel abilities. Agents can communicate with customers via calls, video meetings, and chat, including via social media, providing several options for customers to stay in touch. 

Microsoft Teams contact centre solutions can significantly improve customer service in several ways:

  • Unified Communication Platform: Teams-certified contact centres integrate with Microsoft Teams, providing a unified communication platform that enhances customer support and internal collaboration by consolidating disparate communication channels and tools. This ultimately improves the overall customer experience.
  • Omnichannel Support: Microsoft Teams supports customer interaction work streams by acting as the hub for internal and external customer connection across its modes of communication including chat, video meetings, and calling. This allows businesses to meet their customers where they are with a seamless and consistent experience across channels.
  • AI Technology: Staff are empowered with advanced AI technology that powers a stronger customer experience and helps prevent agent burnout. Contact centre technologies and capabilities deliver customer and operational insights and recommend next-best actions .
  • Adaptability and Scalability: Using a Microsoft Teams contact centre solution is a strategic move that combines communication, collaboration, and automation to provide exceptional customer service. As customer support continues to evolve in response to changing customer expectations, Microsoft Teams offers a dynamic solution that adapts and scales with your business.
