SIPPIO has launched SIPPIO Bridge, a solution empowering organisations to connect their classic PBX systems to the collaboration platforms Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
SIPPIO says its new Bridge service helps businesses maximise their existing PBX investments by complementing their functionality with the collaboration capabilities of leading platforms like Teams and Zoom. This, in turn, establishes the groundwork for the gradual transition to an advanced cloud voice offering.
“With SIPPIO Bridge, we offer our customers a unique solution that seamlessly connects their current on-premise phone systems with the collaboration tools tomorrow,” said Dawn-Marie Elder, COO and General Manager at SIPPIO.
By enabling a gradual transition to Microsoft Teams or Zoom, we’re empowering businesses to embrace modern communications at their own pace, ensuring continuity and minimizing disruptions. SIPPIO Bridge truly bridges the present with the future, providing flexibility and advanced features for a smooth journey towards digital transformation.”
SIPPIO adds that Bridge is a versatile solution that extends the robust calling services of the Azure-native SIPPIO platform to organisations not yet ready to migrate to Teams or Zoom fully. It provides access to an extensive library of communication services, which SIPPIO stresses makes it an ideal choice for entities of any size that rely on these platforms for their meeting and collaboration requirements.
SIPPIO Bridge is available now.
