• Microsoft Teams has undergone significant changes and improvements in the last year, such as the introduction of SIP gateway, shared calling with auto-attendant administration, and the migration away from 3PIP devices.
• Managing the scale and complexity of Teams deployments in large enterprises requires careful planning and change control to ensure stability and minimize disruptions to service.
• Responsibilities for managing Teams deployments in enterprises often involve multiple teams, including network, voice, applications, and meeting room teams.
• Automation and outsourcing services, such as managed SBCs, are becoming more common as enterprises seek to simplify their Teams deployments and reduce the complexity of managing phone systems.
• Reporting and analytics capabilities in Teams, especially for call queues and support desks, remain an area where improvements are needed to provide better visibility and insights.
