Add to this Artificial Intelligence powered analytics so you can manage your call quality and you have an incredibly feature rich platform.
Add to these features Video calling, meetings and conferencing and you have the complete UC solution.
Microsoft Teams encompasses all the functions of Skype for Business, while adding a range of native enhancements that deliver ease of use and increase business productivity.
