In business, it pays to partner with big names.

Investment, innovation, scale: all are things they bring to the table.

Combine those attributes with brand reputation and market penetration, and those big name partners pack a potent punch.

In the tech space, there is arguably no bigger name than Microsoft.

And, in the video conferencing and collaboration space in particular, Microsoft Teams is the powerful, clever and dominant platform upon which much of the world now communicates.

Add premium quality audio and video tools into that mix and the user experience is about as good as it gets.

For leading global provider EPOS – whose entire range of headsets, speakerphones and video conferencing solutions are Microsoft Teams-certified – it means its customers benefit big.

A dedicated Teams launch button, easy fingertip control of the platform, and single-touch immersion in all of Teams’ feature-rich functionality provides users of EPOS devices with a slick and seamless meeting experience.

In fact, just the kind of big name partnership benefits that are capable of delivering game-changing digital transformation.

“In a world where time is money, flawless, intuitive communication and effortless collaboration is essential for success,” says EPOS’ Strategic Alliance Manager Patrick Statler.

“In today’s new reality of the remote and hybrid workplace, teamwork is a number one priority. Now, more than ever, effective collaboration is essential for a company’s success. However, human beings are social creatures and we need to connect to succeed.

“It’s no surprise, therefore, that video conferencing is booming. Quality communication and collaboration empowers organisations to increase productivity and focus, unleash potential, and achieve more.

“Microsoft Teams is one of the world’s most effective collaboration platforms. Leveraging investment in it means matching it with the best possible communication tools.”

EPOS has a wide range of headsets, speakerphones and video conferencing solutions that are Microsoft-certified.

Its EXPAND Line speakerphones, including EXPAND 40T, EXPAND 30T and EXPAND 80T, its EXPAND Capture 5 intelligent speaker, and its EXPAND Vision 3T and EXPAND Vision 5 video conferencing

solutions have all been rigorously tested to ensure compatibility with Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Teams Rooms, and Microsoft® Office 365.

With certain certified headsets and speakerphones, users can launch the Microsoft Teams application via a dedicated button for a quick and easy joining experience.

Users jump straight into meetings – regardless of whether they are in the office, at home or working remotely – and enjoy richer and more interactive collaboration experiences, and superior audio and video that helps them fully focus.

The EXPAND Capture 5 features advanced voice recognition which provides a live, automated, and fully-searchable transcription of a meeting; helping users assign actions. And, in addition, Cortana can be deployed throughout a meeting to sync calendars and arrange next steps.

“That smooth and seamless integration with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Teams Rooms really does maximise the transformational power of the EPOS range,” says Statler.

“Users also get full call control of the Teams platform, meaning they can answer and end calls, mute or put calls on hold, as well as control volume. In addition, the LED on the dedicated button on certain headsets and speakerphones will provide Teams notifications on EPOS devices via a pulsing light, indicating whether users have missed a call, have a voice message, or a meeting has started.

“Today’s modern user demands that kind of joined-up integration. For employers, providing high quality audio and video tools that work so well with Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Teams Rooms helps attract and retain top talent.

“That means return on investment is assured.”

It seems this is one big name partnership that is making a serious noise.

And that’s something worth shouting about….
