Leading solution provider for communication and collaboration, BlueJeans by Verizon, recently announced updates to its Gateway for Teams. In an environment where organisations are searching for new ways to strengthen their workplace performance, the BlueJeans gateway gives companies the ability to extend their collaboration efforts, regardless of employee location.
Microsoft also announced Verizon would be a partner for the Operator Connect platform. The newly revealed Operator Connect is a solution that offers a direct peering relationship between Verizon’s SIP trunking offering, and Microsoft Teams. The system provides a secure, end-to-end telephony system, with automated provisioning and management.
Supporting A Transforming Workforce
According to President of Global Enterprise for Verizon Business, Sampath Sowmyanarayan, the pandemic has increased the need for companies to have enterprise-grade solutions to keep global workforces connected from every environment.
The recent updates to the communication portfolio with Microsoft’s Operator Connect system and BlueJeans gateway are a significant step forward. These enhancements ensure that enterprises can deploy scaling solutions to improve connectivity, create value in existing investments, and future-proof collaboration.
As Microsoft Teams reaches 115 million daily active users, business and IT leaders are now accelerating their move to the cloud for business continuity and flexibility. Verizon, as a certified gold partner for Microsoft, is well-positioned to support companies of all sizes looking to unlock Microsoft Teams’ potential. Verizon’s new Gateway will give teams a more advanced communications solution for team connectivity.
