Case Study Telos Partners

Executive Summary

Telos employees in the office and working remotely around the world struggled to use the existing on premise phone system. Frustrated users would resort to using their own methods of communication to stay in touch with clients. The complicated system consisted of a hosted Skype for Business environment in hybrid with Office 365 and using on PSTN equipment in the UK office for connectivity.

When Telos Partners reached out to Care Computers for guidance we recommended a migration to Microsoft Business Voice, a cloud first solution for a remote workforce.

The people at Care have been great in supporting us through the process. Together we created a clear roadmap for the way we needed to address various areas and the recent migration to Microsoft Business Voice was seamless for our business. This was vital as during Covid it was important that we could continue to operate and serve our clients without adding additional stress.
