AudioCodes announced a partnership with Colt to deliver Microsoft Operator Connect to customers through Colt calling services, while extending Colt's existing Direct Routing solution built using AudioCodes' Microsoft-certified session border controllers.
In addition, Colt leveraged the AudioCodes Live Cloud SaaS solution to provide their resellers and customers with a multi-tenant, multi-tier management portal for streamlining end customer onboarding, and to enable them to offer a complete connectivity solution for Microsoft Teams Phone System.
As a result of this collaboration, Colt customers can now use Microsoft Operator Connect to select Colt as a valid operator and connect to Colt calling services via the Microsoft Teams admin center. Colt's integration with Microsoft Operator Connect is supported by 24/7 monitoring from AudioCodes experts and direct peering through Microsoft Azure, with traffic exchanged directly between the two company's networks for enhanced reliability.
