Troup Bywaters + Anders: A Move to Microsoft Teams Telephony

A Seamless Move to Microsoft Teams Telephony

Simoda, in partnership with Gamma, helped Troup Bywaters + Anders consolidate its communications with a fully native Microsoft Teams telephony solution, creating a simpler and more consistent experience for users.

Connectivity
Overview

Troup Bywaters + Anders (TB+A) is a high-performing engineering partnership with sustainability at the heart of the business, operating from eight offices across the UK and Poland. Since 1958, they have been designing and creating unique internal spaces, blending comfort and function to bring buildings to life.

Challenges

TB+A’s existing telephony platform integrated with Microsoft Teams through a separate third-party application. Having both the native Teams calling functionality and an additional telephony application available within Teams often led to user uncertainty over which tool should be used. While the impact on day-to-day operations was limited, inconsistent usage risked reducing the quality and completeness of reporting, analytics, and operational insights.

Objectives

TB+A’s objective was to consolidate its communications environment through the adoption of a fully native Microsoft Teams telephony solution. By creating a single point of communication for employees, the organisation aimed to streamline user interactions, reduce complexity, preserve key telephony capabilities, and deliver an enhanced experience for both users and customers.

Solutions

Simoda, in partnership with Gamma, delivered an Operator Connect solution that enabled Microsoft Teams to become TB+A’s primary voice platform. The project involved the migration of existing telephone numbers from the incumbent provider and was executed through careful planning, thorough testing, and close collaboration between all parties. As a result, the solution was deployed seamlessly with minimal business disruption, providing a fully integrated and simplified communications experience for users.

Testimonial

A huge thank you to Simoda and Gamma for the successful deployment of our Microsoft Teams telephony solution. Their professionalism, planning and collaborative approach ensured a smooth migration with minimal disruption, delivering a reliable solution that has been warmly adopted by our users.
