We’re thrilled to announce today the general availability of Teams Phone extensibility for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center. This milestone marks the next chapter in our commitment to modernizing customer engagements and empowering organizations to deliver exceptional experiences at scale. 

The lines separating the unified communications as a service (UCaaS) and contact center as a service (CCaaS) markets are vanishing fast. As organizations accelerate their shift to the cloud, the convergence of these platforms is essential for modern service delivery. With Dynamics 365 Contact Center and Teams Phone extensibility, organizations can lead this transformation. When they harness the power of AI, automation, and unified data, they deliver faster, smarter, and more resilient customer service. 

“By consolidating our telephony on one platform with Teams Phone and Dynamics 365 Contact Center, we’re reducing complexity and improving operational efficiency. For example, our team is able to access customer data directly from Dynamics 365 without the need for additional integrations, and we’re able to simplify ongoing administration by standardizing on one phone system—all while taking advantage of Teams Phone enterprise features and its familiar management tools.” — Christopher Ehlo, Tech Lead, Sveriges Lärare

And they can do it within a single, unified CCaaS + UCaaS solution. This reduces silos and complexity, while extending the power of Microsoft’s collaboration and AI tools to every customer interaction.
