Bell collaborates with Microsoft to bring new hybrid work solutions to Canadian businesses

February 6, 2024, Montréal, QC – Bell today announced a collaboration with Microsoft to bring new solutions that will help Canadian businesses modernize their communications platforms and better collaborate in the new world of work. Bell Operator Connect for Microsoft Teams, is now available to Canadian enterprises, enabling them to extend their Teams collaboration capabilities to employees, regardless of their location. Bell is also advancing its company-wide digital transformation and workforce modernization through cloud collaboration investments with Microsoft.

With Bell Operator Connect, a cloud-based Bell solution that enables business-grade voice calling on Teams, Canadian organizations can now add Bell’s high-quality voice network to Teams without additional phone equipment, hardware, or upfront investment. By integrating the capabilities of Teams with the reach and reliability of Bell’s network, customers can simplify the management and administration of voice services and access high-quality nationwide voice calling. These capabilities are backed by end-to-end support from Bell’s Microsoft-certified experts with Professional and Managed Services in Teams and Microsoft 365 solutions.

Bell has also selected Microsoft 365 as its cloud collaboration solution as part of the company’s own digital transformation. Bell will adopt the Microsoft 365 collaboration suite—including Teams Premium and Teams Room Pro—to foster greater collaboration and productivity within their own team. This adoption will bring together communications, collaboration, and business processes built on a foundation of security and privacy. These investments will also lay the foundation for Bell to use Microsoft AI solutions.

Expanding its use of Microsoft modern work solutions with its own workforce will also set the stage for Bell’s Professional and Managed Services teams to further enhance customer support through their own transformations to the cloud with the latest Microsoft 365 innovations.
