"We believe that the Enreach Voice solutions are a perfect fit with the Microsoft Productivity portfolio, boosting our customers Microsoft Teams experience with the help of AudioCodes Live Cloud."
Solution
Enreach identified AudioCodes Live Cloud, a Microsoft Teams Operator Connect Accelerator solution, to be the best way to solve its challenges due to its ability to unify the verification and onboarding processes for Microsoft Operator Connect, all while meeting and exceeding Microsoft’s Operational Excellence and SLA metrics.
AudioCodes Live Cloud is based on AudioCodes’ Mediant Cloud Edition SBC on Azure and includes a unique private peering via ExpressRoute, which exchanges traffic directly with Microsoft’s networks for enhanced reliability and 24x7 monitoring services.
Azure ExpressRoute was used instead of MAPS (Microsoft Azure Peering Services) to dramatically reduce delivery time, allowing for the easy integration and adoption of Operator Connect.
Enreach created an advanced internal flow to qualify their customer leads using webhook notifications, allowing the use of Microsoft Power Automate and future CRM integrations.
The Live Cloud solution provides quick time-to-market and operation management with customer leads management coming directly from the customers’ Teams Admin Portal.
Results
Together, with the reduced cost of creating a dedicated infrastructure, involving Microsoft PowerShell experts and/or other technical specialists needed to get the Operator Connect running, AudioCodes Live Cloud allowed Enreach to focus their resources on offering a reliable and efficient solution for their customers.
Enreach can now further grow its Microsoft Teams footprint in Europe combined with its full suite of UC, contact center and mobile solutions. With a pay-per-user per-month service model, AudioCodes accelerated the onboarding process, provided tools to simplify customer management and helped Enreach to cut down on time-to-market by using AudioCodes’ existing Operator Connect Accelerator solution.
Conclusion
Enreach successfully deployed AudioCodes Live Cloud and delivered voice connectivity via Microsoft Teams Operator Connect, on top of its Direct Routing service. This solution proved to be well integrated, allowing Enreach to create a compelling offering in a short amount of time.
AudioCodes Live Cloud enabled Enreach to generate an additional revenue stream from its existing Microsoft Teams customer base whilst generating new business, making it a welcome extension of the European market position of Enreach.
