Gamma Communications has announced a new strategic relationship with Ingram Micro to offer its UK partners Operator Connect for Microsoft Teams.
Operator Connect, a new operator-managed programme from Microsoft Teams Phone, has been designed to enable seamless and integrated calling. There are only a few providers of the programme in the UK.
The pair want to provide partners with a new opportunity in the business voice market. Additionally, Gamma will become the first provider to offer Operator Connect for Microsoft Teams to Ingram Micro’s partners in the UK.
Microsoft Director of Services Partners Eleri Gibbon said: “Gamma’s inclusion among a select number of operators is a testament to the company’s experience as one of the UK’s leading SIP providers and its expertise in delivering voice solutions for Teams and we look forward to seeing this delivered now through Ingram Micro’s Partner Ecosystem.”
Gamma was recently awarded Solutions Partner designation for Modern Workplace and hold an Advanced Specialisation in Calling for Microsoft Teams. One of the first to become a partner for the exclusive Operator Connect programme in 2021, Gamma launched it into the Dutch market for SME customers through the company’s dealer model.
Gamma Director of Cloud and Infrastructure Partners Mike Mills said: “We are excited to be partnering with Ingram Micro as a strategic vendor in their modern workplace practice. The global adoption of Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), and particularly Microsoft Teams, has unquestionably created unprecedented opportunities for partners new to the voice market. We look forward to strengthening this partnership beyond Operator Connect to enable Ingram Micro and its partners to leverage these opportunities.”
Ingram Micro Director of Cloud & Cyber Security Ovi Gherghel said: “Gamma’s extensive experience in enabling Microsoft Teams voice services will be a major asset to our voice services portfolio and will provide our partners with the opportunity to maximise the value of their own Microsoft services offerings.”
