The Background

The business was supporting distributed workgroups and integrating communications into core business systems such as ERP and CRM platforms. The organisation historically relied on Avaya-based on-premise voice infrastructure and required a modern, cloud-aligned communications environment that supports collaboration, voice, and digital engagement within Microsoft Teams, as well as omni-channel CX funtionality.

The Challenge

The organisation faced increasing limitations from an aging, Avaya-centric on-premise telephony environment that lacked scalability, created fragmented communication experiences, and introduced complexity for IT management. Calling and messaging capabilities were inconsistent across workgroups, while visibility into users, queues, and interactions remained limited. At the same time, the business needed to preserve a seamless Microsoft Teams experience while improving reporting and maintaining alignment with existing enterprise systems.

Why Change

As Microsoft Teams adoption expanded across the organisation, there was a clear opportunity to standardise communication capabilities within a single platform. The goal was to simplify IT operations, improve visibility for supervisors and team leaders, and establish a scalable communications environment that could support future digital engagement channels, while retiring legacy infrastructure.

The Solution

A Teams-based communications solution was implemented to unify enterprise voice, messaging, and reporting within a single environment. Enhanced calling and SMS capabilities were introduced alongside advanced automation and administration using SCB Global’s Teams Voice (OPTO T), enabling simplified provisioning, centralised management, and improved operational control.

To support customer engagement and reporting requirements, a Teams-based contact centre capability was also deployed, providing real-time and historical visibility across users, call queues, and auto-attendants, supported by SCB Global’s native CX funtionality (OPTO C). This ensured that customer interactions could be managed efficiently within the same Microsoft Teams environment, without adding complexity.

Success Story Summary

This approach enabled the organisation to unify calling, messaging, and customer interaction management directly within Microsoft Teams, while simplifying administration and improving visibility across the business. Supervisors gained access to meaningful insights, IT teams benefited from reduced complexity, and users experienced a consistent and seamless communication environment.
As a result, the organisation successfully transitioned to a modern communications model, reducing operational overhead and establishing a scalable foundation for future digital channel expansion.
