Cloudy distie Giacom has signed an agreement with Gamma to become the first Authorised Distribution Partner for its Microsoft Teams Direct Routing Service.
Giacom’s customers have already supported SMB businesses through the rapid adoption of Microsoft Teams throughout the remote working revolution. Microsoft Teams saw one of the biggest surges in usage over the pandemic, and is now being used by more than 75 million people each day.
Direct Routing from Gamma is said to be a cost-effective, highly featured alternative to Calling Plans for Microsoft 365, allowing customers to replace any existing phone system with Microsoft Teams for all inbound and outbound calls to landlines and mobiles.
Giacom’s customers will be able to benefit from reduced costs and operational complexity by deploying Gamma’s Direct Routing service, helping them to create a fully cloud-based communication solution using Microsoft Teams and Business Voice, and unlocking the potential of these services.
Mike Mills, Gamma’s Head of Cloud and Infrastructure said: “It was clear from the very first engagement with Giacom that there were many similarities in our businesses and how we approach the channel, so enabling Giacom as our first distribution Partner sees benefits to both parties. Throughout the discussions what became clear was that our experience and market leading position in IP Voice, coupled with Giacom’s Cloud Market and Microsoft Teams capabilities, was going to be a winning combination.”
Steve Law, CTO, Giacom, said: “The partnership with Gamma helps our customers find a suitable product which is cost-effective and straightforward to manage their communications. We’re excited to be Gamma’s first distribution partner, and with enhanced communication being more important than ever before, especially during these unprecedented times, we’re sure this solution will bring great value and benefits to our customers.”
