Make the
smart call

with Microsoft Teams Essentials
+ Teams Phone

Say goodbye to the complexity of managing separate toolsets for inbound and outbound calling, internal voice and video calling, chat, collaboration and secure file sharing. Microsoft Teams Essentials and Teams Phone seamlessly integrates these business essentials into a single, cost-effective and unified platform that is priced specifically for SMEs.

Microsoft Teams Essentials + Teams Phone transforms your business by offering:

Unified Communications

Cater for all your business communications needs with a single platform that brings together inbound and outbound calling, internal voice and video calling, chat, collaboration and secure file sharing, wrapped in an interface that’s designed to make your workforce productive regardless of whether it’s on-site, remote or hybrid.

Cost efficiency

Microsoft Teams Essentials and Teams Phone is powered by the cloud, so there’s no need to procure and maintain additional infrastructure. The solution can be purchased as a standalone or an add-on to Microsoft 365 and offers the choice between a Microsoft calling plan or using an existing operator calling arrangement.

Remote-worker ready

Because it’s cloud-based, Microsoft Teams Essentials and Teams Phone works wherever your workforce is located. This makes it well suited to businesses that have a hybrid work context and particularly powerful for businesses that have a large number of field workers that rely heavily on mobile phones and tablets.

Scalable licensing

Microsoft Teams Essentials + Teams Phone can be purchased as a standalone solution or be added on to an existing Microsoft 365 licensing structure – or any combination of these scenarios. That means it’s well suited to businesses with different user needs, as well as those with large, temporary or project-based workforces.

Simplified Management

Because it’s a single, unified solution IT management teams are able to manage licenses, administer user permissions, set controls and access analytics from a single place. This offers the ability to manage the solution at both a granular, user by user level, but also do so at a more holistic, organisation-wide level.

Compatible with your current environment

You can slot an existing arrangement with a telco straight into your Microsoft Teams Essentials and Teams Phone environment or choose a new Microsoft calling plan. And because there’s no licensing dependencies, you can cater for all members of your workforce regardless of whether they have Microsoft 365 or not.

Secure and Trustworthy

Teams Essentials and Phone is built on the same secure, trusted and cloud-based infrastructure as the Microsoft 365 and Office 365 solution stack. It furthermore enforces team and organisation-wide two-factor authentication, single sign-on and encryption of data in transit and at rest.

Support on-tap

With Tarsus On Demand’s highly qualified partner channel on tap, you’ll never be without the assistance of an expert, whether that’s in helping you make the right choice of solution for your business, configuring it for your unique needs or managing any challenges or complexities as they occur.
