Microsoft Teams Voice replacing 麻豆精品's phone system in 2022
After 35 years of service, 麻豆精品's phone system is retiring in 2022. Over the course of a phased rollout, the traditional phone system and equipment will be replaced with Microsoft Teams Voice, which uses the existing Teams platform to make and receive external calls on a computer or mobile device.
The transition to Teams Voice will offer modern calling enhancements, such as voicemail to email, call history, call blocking, call transferring, call forwarding, and much more. The switch will also permit 麻豆精品 employees to use existing 753 or 752 numbers to simplify the transition and minimize disruption. In addition to adding modern calling features, this change allows 麻豆精品 to reduce telecommunications costs by removing a legacy phone system that is expensive to maintain, difficult to repair, and obsolete.
The move to Teams Voice is a large project in the early planning phase. The project team is committed to effective communication and will update campus regularly through 麻豆精品 Announcements, presentations, direct communications, and the 麻豆精品 Teams Voice website. The transition is expected to begin in January of 2022, followed by a phased rollout over the course of several months. It is anticipated that the first phase of the rollout will migrate individual numbers to Teams, while a second phase will transition departmental phones, faxes, conference rooms, and call centers. The project team will regularly connect with individuals and units regarding scheduling, training, and next steps.
