CallTower was the first solution provider to deliver an integrated Office 365 Native Microsoft Teams experience with global calling plans, empowered by a 24/7/365 client services team – ensuring a personalized implementation, adoption, training and support strategy. As a Microsoft Gold Partner, CallTower enables customers to bring their current voice services into the Microsoft Cloud through Microsoft Teams Direct Routing. CallTower delivers key Microsoft Teams UCaaS, CCaaS and digital workplace features and functionality which are unavailable through other providers.

Operator Connect improves integration between networks streamlining provisioning and management of users and enhanced support models that augment the quality of service.
“We are thrilled to receive this coveted award from TMC for our robust Native Microsoft Teams Direct Routing solution,” added CallTower Chief Revenue Officer William Rubio. “Our Native Microsoft Teams solutions empower customers with additional UCaaS and CCaaS features and integrations to boost productivity and efficiency while saving money in the process on Direct Routing and Operator Connect.”
