Dstny launches Call2Teams Go for cost-effective voice integration with Microsoft Teams


LONDON, Aug. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Dstny Automate, the leading provider of Direct Routing solutions for Microsoft Teams, is excited to launch Call2Teams Go, the latest addition to their ecosystem of Direct Routing products. Call2Teams Go revolutionizes voice integration with Teams, effectively unlocking the power of Teams collaboration without the added complication of additional telephony licensing. This makes it one of the most cost-effective solutions on the market for voice-enabling Teams. Because it is native, Call2Teams Go delivers a rich calling experience directly within the Teams interface.

Call2Teams Go is the only truly native client companion for Microsoft Teams

Call2Teams Go lets Call2Teams PBX users rapidly activate a dial pad within the Teams environment. Additionally, with Call2Teams Go the tenant only needs to have one Microsoft Teams Resource Account license and one phone system license per company. This native experience means users can access essential Teams functions, such as presence, call history, 1-1 call recording and transcription, voicemail, call waiting and contact syncing. Call2Teams Go also delivers features exclusive to Call2Teams products such as 100% true reflection of line state when making transfers.

Neil Greenwood, VP of Product at Dstny Automate, explains why being native to Teams is so important.

“Being native on the client side means you’re using the Teams voice capabilities within the platform, which comes with the networking and quality of service attributes that go from the client into the Azure Cloud and then to Teams.

With Call2Teams Go there is no software to install, so users are not handling a cross-launch in a separate window to Teams. With some integrations, you’ll see the dialer in Teams, but it’s actually presenting as a web client using WebRTC or simply acting as a remote interface to an existing application sitting outside of Teams.”

As Call2Teams Go is native to Teams, it is instinctive to users already familiar with the Microsoft Teams interface.

Call2Teams Go is a game-changer for Teams calling via PBX.

As with Call2Teams for PBX and Trunks, this latest addition to the product ecosystem is delivered on a per-user-per-tenant basis. Greenwood goes on to explain:

“Call2Teams Go completes our Direct Routing product set. Now all users within a company can have access to native Teams calling, whether that be via Microsoft Phone System or via Call2Teams Go.”

The launch of Call2Teams Go delivers ground-breaking advances in how users make and receive calls in Microsoft Teams and is a major step forward in delivering native Teams calling to all users, regardless of price.

Bright Pattern Notes Companies Taking New Innovative Approaches to Customer Experience Since the COVID-19 Pandemic


In line with recent research from McKinsey and IBM, Bright Pattern sees companies finding smarter ways to operate, increasing digital and mobile channel adoption 

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Jan. 13, 2021Bright Pattern, a leading provider of AI-powered cloud omnichannel contact center software, has seen new approaches taken to mitigate the recent challenges from COVID-19 and increased acceleration of innovative digital approaches to better serve customers. McKinsey recently reported that digital channel adoption was vaulted forward 5 years in a span of only 8 weeks due to COVID-19. A similar report from IBM indicated that ecommerce has accelerated by 5 years since the pandemic began. 

Bright Pattern customers have shown increased use of innovative mobile and digital channels, employed new best practices for empowering and coaching remote agents, and increased the adoption of AI and self-service to better help customers and their own agents.   

Companies are shifting digitally as they nimbly adapt with new innovative approaches: 

  • Companies that have traditionally relied on premise-based contact center solutions have moved remote with cloud-based contact center solutions. Vendors with fast time to deploy and ease of use have the edge.
  • With the acceleration of digital channels noted by McKinsey and IBM, Bright Pattern is seeing increased interest in messaging apps like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and LINE as part of the customer experience platform
  • With the shift to digital there has also been an acceleration of the mobile customer experience with in-app communication, SMS and MMS, and video chat.
  • With the increased use of new digital channels, Bright Pattern is seeing companies starting to focus on omnichannel quality management where the quality of every interaction on every channel is measured, and remote agents can be scored and coached to improve interactions with poor sentiment or CSAT ratings.
  • With a nearly doubling of Microsoft Teams active users since last March, Bright Pattern is seeing an increased use of Microsoft Teams with cloud contact center technology. Bright Pattern’s Microsoft Teams integration for example allows agents to communicate together as well as bring in other experts outside the contact center to help with customer-facing issues.
  • With company help desk and service management operations now dealing with employees who are largely remote, companies are looking for technology that automates service management, ITSM, and ESM support to employees. This includes enabling remote help desk personnel to communicate with employees on digital channels and provide automated assistance and self-service options.
  • Companies are using new forms of AI and self-service to reduce the load on agents; this includes both agent-assist AI as well as AI tools like conversational IVRs and voice biometrics to reduce effort for customers.

These approaches follow many of the predicted trends from a recent Bright Pattern 2021 Trends Report and also reflect how customers using Bright Pattern have pivoted to better respond to customers since the pandemic began.

Innovative examples where Bright Pattern has helped during COVID:

Bright Pattern has helped numerous existing and new customers deploy remote teams, provide safe work environments for agents, and improve customer satisfaction amid a global pandemic. Some of the innovative use cases Bright Pattern has seen since the pandemic include:

  • The 2nd largest US bank deployed Bright Pattern in 10 days for over 2,000 remote agents handling over 3 million interactions per month to support COVID-19 paycheck protection program – Read More
  • The South Korea Center for Disease Control is revolutionizing their contact tracing program with innovative cloud contact center technology to contain the spread of COVID-19 – Read More
  • The UK National Health Service (NHS) launched a technology-reliant testing and tracing campaign to combat the spread of COVID-19, utilizing Bright Pattern Contact Center Software for omnichannel communications – Read More
  • Bright Pattern helps Naver, often referred to as "the Google" of South Korea and creator of the LINE messaging app go remote amid COVID-19 – Read More
  • A leading European travel exploration company moved all call center agents remote during COVID-19 thanks to Bright Pattern cloud-based contact center software – Read More
  • Cenaced, a non-profit healthcare organization, is using Bright Pattern to deploy remote agents and offer free telehealth services to help citizens in Mexico dealing with stress during the quarantine – Read More
  • A multi-state retail chain triages over 50% of pandemic call volume using Bright Pattern AI for bots and conversational IVR – Read More
  • A leading brick-and-mortar luxury retailer in Europe moved fully remote and online. They also used the WhatsApp messaging platform so that in-store personnel could be redeployed to capture and share video of requested products with customers chatting online, providing personal concierge service via digital channels like chat and messengers.

"Although 2020 was a difficult year, we are seeing companies innovating at an accelerated pace. Challenges typically bring positive changes and new approaches. Our customers are looking for better and brighter approaches to innovate their customer experience," said Ted Hunting, SVP of Marketing at Bright Pattern. "We have seen that many of the best-practices from our recent keynote presentation at CCW Europe "Rethinking Customer Contact Post COVID-19" which discussed keys for success in a post-pandemic world have already been successfully put into practice by Bright Pattern customers. Because of these innovative companies, 2021 will be a year of new and improved customer experience for many of their customers."

Bright Pattern is the simplest, most powerful AI-powered omnichannel contact center with the highest ROI and fastest time to deploy in the industry (half the industry average). Bright Pattern ranked for Interoperability, for Platform Functionality, and for Hosting Reliability and Scalability in the Omdia Buyer’s Guide. Bright Pattern outranked Five9, NICE inContact, Avaya, Aspect, and 8×8 as a leading provider in the 2020 G2 Crowd Report, and was a leader in the 2020 Call Center Software FrontRunners Quadrant with customer ratings higher than Five9, Genesys PureCloud, NICE inContact, RingCentral, and Talkdesk. Additionally, Bright Pattern was recognized by Frost & Sullivan for its omnichannel, AI, and ITSM capabilities, and by Gartner as a leader in the Call Center FrontRunners Quadrant.

Customer Experience Outsourcers Launch Intelligent and Self-service Options to Improve Business Outcomes in Europe

Outsourcers integrate advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to improve the customer journey and agent experience, finds Frost & Sullivan

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 — Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, European Customer Experience Outsourcing Services Market, 2020, reveals that outsourcers are increasingly relying on advanced technologies to meet client requirements in the customer experience (CX) outsourcing services industry. The European market is mature and characterized by demands for specific languages, cultural affinity, and nearshoring. COVID-19 has adversely affected the industry in 2020 and Frost & Sullivan expects total market revenue to reach €16.23 billion, a 7.5% decline. Outsourcers, however, display exceptional agility and flexibility when meeting the business continuity challenge. Assuming a reversal of fortune in the next 3 to 4 months, Frost & Sullivan expectsthe market to recover to €20.03 billion by 2024. To stay relevant in the rapidly evolving market, outsourcers must develop new tools to address digitally native customers, cybersecurity challenges, and business continuity as a service.     


For further information on this analysis, please visit: http://frost.ly/49w

"By integrating advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, outsourcers transform the customer journey. Offering customized, automated, and self-service solutions, outsourcers have moved beyond cost and labor arbitrage to instead focus on seamless, omni-channel, value-added experiences," said Deepali Sathe, Information & Communication Technologies Senior Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Customers have evolved and expect intelligent interactions and immediate responses. True partnerships developing between clients and outsourcers will enhance the agent experience, mitigate complexity, and encourage empathy."

Leonardo Sampieri, Information & Communication Technologies Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan, added, "Sectors such as telecom, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI),  and travel and hospitality will see the most changes and will need service providers to help them drive a digital transformation in CX. Healthcare is an area of fast growth, and with COVID-19, the vertical is expected to see rapid growth across Europe that significantly affects outsourcers."

Some of the other areas of focus that can help outsourcers gain competitive advantage are:

  • Cybersecurity and customer trust: European customers in particular are more concerned about data privacy. To enhance CX, companies need to strike a balance between user friendliness and effectiveness.
  • Personalization: Utilize technology and expertise to enhance CX outcomes with customization. CX reflects the effectiveness of operational excellence and outsourcers must integrate technologies that enable better management of customer sentiments.
  • Partnerships: Focus heavily on partnering and expanding the ecosystem. Thinking beyond products and services to identify other important parameters to differentiate in a rapidly commoditizing market will require a flexible and innovative strategy. 
  • Portfolio diversification: Outsourcers that cater to the diverse requirements of specific verticals will enjoy immense growth prospects, as it adds another dimension to the overall value proposition and extends ease of deployment.

European Customer Experience Outsourcing Services Market, 2020 is the latest addition to Frost & Sullivan’s Information & Communication Technologies research and analysis available through the Frost & Sullivan Leadership Council, which helps organizations identify a continuous flow of growth opportunities to succeed in an unpredictable future.

The platform now enables IT and network applications to run on a common cloud architecture – designed to deliver breakthrough ROI improvements through optimization of CapEx, OpEx, skills and automation investments across both the Network and IT application domains.

The new platform is deployed across many distributed Vodafone Idea cloud microsites across India, as well as its central IT operations which are also run by IBM.

This platform enables radical automation through standardization. A wide range of capabilities from IBM and Red Hat, including Watson AI and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, will strengthen VIL’s capability in network and IT planning. New network cloud microsites and IT capacity will now be able to be provisioned in an agile way, enabling faster deployments and cost efficiency.

This platform, which has the potential to deliver a step change in the cost and quality of core network delivery, enables new distributed edge compute capabilities that can seamlessly blend network and IT functions. IBM and Vodafone Idea’s breakthrough secured hybrid cloud is also built for business and the provisioning of highly differentiated B2B services to the India market. Vodafone Idea and IBM plan to work together as Vodafone Idea brings additional B2B services to market, like blockchain based solutions, in key industry verticals such as retail and financial services.

IBM has been a key IT partner to Vodafone Idea for more than a decade. Today’s news extends and builds upon previous hybrid cloud collaborations between Vodafone Idea, IBM and Red Hat. This includes the agreement in May 2019 to deliver an enhanced customer experience to millions of connected consumers and businesses in India through further enhancements of Vodafone Idea’s IT hybrid cloud, resulting in the delivery of the IT facet of the company’s Open Universal Hybrid Cloud.

It also builds on the October 2019 announcement of Vodafone Idea’s adoption of Red Hat technologies to build, operate, automate and orchestrate the Network Cloud. This paved the way for integrating network function into the Open Universal Hybrid Cloud.

Today’s announcement brings it all together, with a single Open Universal Hybrid Cloud supporting both IT and network function within Vodafone Idea, and enabling those capabilities to be taken to market with extreme agility.

“Through our collaboration with IBM and Red Hat, we are adopting open standards and leading with highly automated, machine learning based hybrid cloud solutions to create India’s first Open Universal Hybrid Cloud that supports our most mission-critical operations across Network and IT systems, and B2B Enterprise customer offerings. This is part of our transformation journey to set up a robust, future ready network,” said Vishant Vora, CTO of Vodafone Idea Limited. 

“As major communication service providers like Vodafone Idea continue to modernize, they are turning to IBM as their strategic partner to build, deploy and manage their networks as an open cloud platform with telco-grade security,” said Steve Canepa, Global Managing Director and Worldwide Head of Telecommunications, Media & Entertainment Industry, IBM. “By selecting IBM and Red Hat, VIL will benefit from our commitment to open architecture, our scale investments in   automation and AI capabilities, and our proven industry expertise.”

“We are pleased that Vodafone Idea continues to build on Red Hat as one of the core technologies to deliver its Open Universal Hybrid Cloud,” said Ashesh Badani, Senior Vice President, Cloud Platforms, Red Hat. “By accelerating automation of the network and serving as a key enabler of converging its network and IT domains with a common architecture, Red Hat is helping Vodafone Idea to bring the platform to a broad range of customers, including small to medium-sized enterprises and start-ups.”
