eBook: Microsoft Teams and telephony – UCaaS providers for financial services firms

Financial services firms that are using Microsoft Teams for messaging and meetings can enhance their Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) experience by integrating calling services from a dedicated UCaaS provider, instead of adopting Microsoft Teams phone system. By doing so, they can reduce telecom costs, improve reliability, compliance, and security, and access advanced calling features.
