Enreach has joined Microsoft’s Operator Connect programme across five countries.
The pan-European firm joins more than 20 carriers to have approval already.
Martin Claßen, Chief Product Officer, said Enreach: “We are aiming to make contact between people as friction-free as possible and break down both physical and digital barriers so that people can focus on their conversations, without the distraction of technology.
“Being part of Microsoft Operator Connect is a further step towards this, and it also fits in with our mission to help Microsoft customers across the region make the most of their technology investments”
Operator Connect was launched last year and lets businesses connect PSTN calling into Microsoft Teams without the need for complex Direct Routing solutions.
The third option for adding voice to Teams is to buy the service directly from Microsoft through its Calling Plans.
Unlike Direct Routing, Microsoft regulates Operator Connect providers, and carriers have to be approved by the software giant before offering the service.
Enreach will provide the service in Denmark, Finland, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands and said that availability in other countries will follow.
Joep Lecluse, Head of Cloud Workspace Productivity at Enreach, said: “We are very proud of this achievement, especially since only a small fraction of the hundreds of service providers who apply to this program are accepted.
“The inclusion of Enreach among the selection of operators recognizes our strong market position in Europe and fits the strategic development of our portfolio.”
Enreach kicked off 2022 by making an acquisition in Spain to boost its mobile virtual network operator capabilities.
At the end of 2021 the firm launched its new unified platform, Enreach UP.
