The new product, Espria Connect, isn’t just another telephony solution. It’s a game-changer, offering a cost-effective, scalable, and secure telephony solution for SMBs, mid-market and enterprise customers.
Combining the power of Microsoft Teams with Cloud-Based Unified Communications, Espria, the leading managed services provider, is excited to introduce Espria Connect. This powerful solution streamlines business communication infrastructure and addresses the growing demand for a unified communication solution that supports hybrid work environments.
Designed for businesses of all sizes, Espria Connect allows users to manage voicemail, make and receive calls, and access a diverse range of other features—all within the Microsoft Teams interface. For organisations looking to consolidate their communication platforms, including those using Microsoft Calling Plans, E5/A5 licensing, or Microsoft Business Premium, this new product offers a more cost-effective and efficient service than a basic calling plan.
“Espria Connect can transform your business telephony platforms by integrating cloud-based communication features into Microsoft Teams calling,” said a spokesperson for Espria. As a Microsoft Modern Work Partner with ISO Certificated Cloud Services, our layered solution offers a streamlined communication infrastructure that can improve overall efficiency and support the unique needs of enterprise customers.
“Businesses can easily scale services from a single platform, eliminating the need for physical infrastructure and achieving substantial cost savings compared to traditional PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). As a result, organisations can seamlessly integrate calls into existing online workflows while supporting hybrid work environments for improved business continuity.”
Espria Connect also provides IT leaders with a powerful tool. By offering valuable insights into communication patterns through data analytics and recordings, it supports accurate decision-making that contributes to business efficiency and productivity.
“The advanced analytics and call recording feature of our product will allow organisations to reap the benefits of real-time insights and enhance training and service quality by monitoring call volumes, identifying trends, and addressing any issues promptly,” the spokesperson added. “With the options for toll fraud management and trunk call management, businesses can maintain control over call routing, optimise their bandwidth usage, and detect anomalies to reduce telephony costs, thus enhancing communication flexibility.”
“With over 25 years of expertise in Cloud, IT, Communications and Document Solutions, Espria is committed to helping businesses scale their operations by offering solutions that meet all communication needs, and Espria Connect is a robust yet simplistic approach to unified communications that will result in improved reliability and uptime.
Whether you’re looking to modernise communication infrastructure, support hybrid workers, or enhance user experience and collaboration, Espria Connect can meet those demands.
