Case Study Modern Workplace Hybrid Work

Modernising communication for a hybrid workforce

A professional services firm migrated from legacy on-site VOIP to Microsoft Teams Phone to enable hybrid working, reduce cost, and improve flexibility.

Core Tech
Microsoft Teams Phone
Primary Outcome
Unified hybrid calling
Impact
Reduced cost + better flexibility

The Challenge

The company relied on outdated on-site VOIP phones that didn’t support hybrid working. Staff struggled to manage calls remotely, and hardware upgrades were prohibitively costly. They needed a flexible solution that supported desktop, mobile, and office calling.

What We Did

Assess & Compare

Reviewed the existing setup and compared traditional hardware refresh options against software-based cloud calling for cost, agility, and long-term flexibility.

Recommend & Implement

Migrated numbers to Microsoft Teams Phone and configured call flows to ensure staff could handle calls effectively across hybrid shifts.

The Solution

Unified Experience

Make and receive calls on desktop, mobile, or office devices using the same professional business number.

Modern Infrastructure

Cloud-based routing and voicemail reduced dependency on expensive on-site PBX hardware and improved resilience.

Results (Observed Impact)

Cost Reduction
~30% to ~50%

Estimated reduction compared to legacy telephony costs and hardware refresh approach.

Migration Risk
Minimal disruption

Migration planned to avoid customer-facing downtime and reduce disruption during changeover.

Hybrid Enablement
Calls anywhere

Staff could manage calls from desktop, mobile, or office locations using consistent call flows.
