87 We asked Microsoft partners what software, services or hardware they are developing to make it easy for businesses to adopt Teams and deliver a more productive experience for users Partner perspectives “Today’s business aim is to bring customers closer, a vision previously hindered by the traditional separation of employee experience (EX) and customer experience (CX). The seamless integration of Teams, an EX champion, with Avaya, a CX pioneer, shatters these barriers. Avaya’s integration options forge a direct, efficient link with Teams, enhancing collaboration and voice performance. This synergy positions customers not as mere endpoints, but as the vital heart of the supply chain. This innovative alignment of EX and CX through the MicrosoftAvaya partnership leads to a closer customer connection and a holistically enriched business communication experience.” “Anywhere365 Dialogue Cloud is an advanced dialogue management and cloud contact centre platform.
