South Jordan, Utah –– CallTower, a global leader in delivering cloud-based enterprise-class unified communications and collaboration solutions today confirmed they are assisting customers and prospects who want to navigate from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams. CallTower recently announced they would continue to support their Native Skype for Business, Enterprise Edition solution through 2025. While some customers will choose to remain on Skype for Business, customers who are ready to take advantage of the collaborative power of Microsoft Teams can be seamlessly migrated by CallTower to a Teams Direct Routing solution.
As many companies explore the challenges of moving to Teams, CallTower is prepared to make the transition smooth and ROI-friendly through a comprehensive system and user evaluation with a dedicated implementation team.

This solution ensures a personalized implementation, adoption, training and support strategy. As a Microsoft Gold Partner, CallTower’s monitoring and management services deliver the highest quality user experience.
