Everyone knows that Microsoft Teams is a popular tool for organizational communications. It’s often used for internal collaboration, and, in some cases, it’s used for all of an organization’s external communications as well.

However, for those that do, that’s where Microsoft Teams certified contact centers come in.

From the early 2000s to our Teams Contact Center Certification earlier this year, ComputerTalk has been working alongside Microsoft for a long time to build the best products and integrations that we can for our customers.
