Wave Teams+
The pandemic has given rise to an increase in remote and hybrid working, with many businesses forced to leave the office and work from home. While many have ended up returning, it’s clear that the trend of flexible working is here to stay. With this in mind, it is important for businesses to have a phone system that enables unified communications.

Microsoft Teams has revolutionised business communications and has been adopted by thousands of businesses to support the rise of remote and hybrid working. However, although it has some phone system features, it is not as effective at handling communications with customers, suppliers, and external parties as a fully featured cloud-based VoIP phone system.

Our newly launched integration brings together the best of both worlds; market-leading collaboration from Teams with the affordable and intuitive Wave phone system. With Wave Teams +, remote and hybrid working is now easier than ever.

Benefits of combining Teams with Wave:

  • Inbound calls on Wave ring through to your Teams client
  • Effectively manage calls using Wave routing options
  • Make outbound calls directly from your Teams client with control of number presentation
  • Connect your non-Teams users with your Teams users
  • Maintain call insights and reporting functions
  • Securely managed call recording
