Teaming Up With Teams: The Combined Power Of Microsoft And Bicom Systems

Our greatest insights are brought to you with heartfelt devotion. We hope you’ll enjoy your read! At Bicom Systems, each new release is an opportunity to make communication easier and more productive for businesses. With version 7.5, we’ve taken a major leap forward by launching the gloCOM for Teams Beta app and significantly enhancing our unified communications approach.

We designed this solution to bridge the gap between internal collaboration and external communication, without trade-offs. This move combines the most advanced collaboration tools in Teams with the most advanced VoIP features available in gloCOM. Microsoft Teams offers excellent internal collaboration functions. But when it comes to external communication, businesses often require advanced calling features or SMS integration to fully meet their communication needs. Even with paid add-ons like Teams Phone, key limitations remain: flexibility, feature depth and cost-efficiency.

We built this integration in response to recurring business challenges, including:

• Ensuring advanced calling features and SMS integration for effective external communication.
• Addressing limitations faced by businesses with basic internal collaboration tools.
• Providing a cost-efficient solution with no additional costs or complex migrations.

Bicom Systems’ response to these challenges was a stable, high-quality integration of gloCOM’s communication capabilities into Microsoft Teams, delivered without additional costs or complex migrations. Teams users can now access advanced VoIP and PBXware features like calling, conference calls, voicemail, SMS, and call logs, directly within the Teams interface, making it a much more powerful tool for external communications.

An additional benefit is presence syncing from Teams to gloCOM. That means everyone’s availability stays up to date, and teams never miss a call, even if they’re using Teams for collaboration or gloCOM for calling. Finally, the result is a smoother workflow: fewer app switches, better communication visibility, and all the core tools people rely on in one place.

gloCOM for Teams is built for businesses that need more from Microsoft Teams, especially in professional-grade telecommunication solutions. Here’s who will find the most value:

• Businesses requiring advanced VoIP and PBXware features for external communication.
• Teams users seeking a seamless integration of communication tools for enhanced productivity.
• Companies aiming for presence synchronization and improved call management.

The list doesn’t stop there, as gloCOM for Teams gives many industries the tools they need to connect, communicate, and collaborate at a higher level. The beta release of gloCOM for Teams, included with version 7.5, delivers a comprehensive all-in-one solution directly within your existing Teams environment, providing an expanded bundle for seamless collaboration and communication. This is another step forward in our commitment to enhancing overall productivity and reducing workplace stress.
