In today’s interconnected world, it is more important than ever to ensure that business communications devices are compatible with unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) platforms. According to IDC research, about half of all enterprise buyers prefer to work with a single UCaaS (unified communications-as-a-service) platform combined with easily integrated solutions like videoconferencing, contact center solutions, and collaboration applications.

In this article, we examine some of the devices and platforms that integrate well with Microsoft Teams, the industry leader in the UC&C space with more than 300 million users. The fact that businesses subscribed to Microsoft 365 Business already have Teams as a free add-on has helped propel Teams to the top of the UC&C heap.

TeleDynamics carries a wide range of Teams-compatible devices and solutions from a number of manufacturers. Here, we focus on four of our featured partners that have made significant investments in ensuring easy integration and hassle-free compatibility: Yealink, Yeastar, Grandstream, and Ribbon Communications.
