"Microsoft Teams direct routing is an incredibly powerful tool for enterprise businesses but it doesn't come with an enterprise-class contact center solution 'out of the box'", said Scott Kinka, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer at Evolve IP. "Evolve IP's contact center solution, which natively integrates with Microsoft Teams direct routing provides our customers with two primary advantages. One, it delivers powerful omnichannel features that drive a great customer experience. Two, by delivering a unified Teams and contact center instance, agents stay connected with the rest of the business and can collaborate with other employees no matter where they are working or what devices they are working on."
