Microsoft Teams Voice
We recently completed a Microsoft Teams Voice migration for a large government organization, successfully transferring approximately 6,000 numbers. The project involved internal presentations to ensure user comfort, a phased implementation starting with outbound calls, and tailored communication based on user usage levels.

This allowed the organization to ship devices directly from the factory to users without diminishing the user experience
