“At LoopUp, our platform is particularly differentiated for larger, international Teams Calling deployments,” says LoopUp’s co-chief executive Steve Flavell. “This badge of honour from Microsoft sums up one key element of our value proposition: our deep Microsoft voice expertise and experience to partner with our customers on their journeys from premises-based telephony to global cloud implementation.”  

“Combined with our broad regulatory coverage – we expect to be fully compliant for PSTN replacement in more countries than any other provider by the end of this year – and our innovative PerfectBundle pricing, we look forward to continuing our growth in this large and exciting market.”


Advanced Specialization – Calling for Microsoft Teams 

This latest award builds on LoopUp’s existing Microsoft Partner status (holding 10 Microsoft Competencies including gold in Cloud Productivity, Collaboration And Content, Communications, Messaging, Project And Portfolio Management and Windows And Devices), along with our participation in Microsoft’s Teams Technology Adoption Program (TAP).

The Calling for Microsoft Teams Advanced Specialization requires a certain number of consultants, engineers, and support agents to pass the “MS-700 Managing Microsoft Teams” exam and Teams Calling Technical Assessment. Eligibility for the Specialization also involved maintaining a 2,500 monthly active users’ growth over a trailing 12-month period and providing reference cases for Microsoft to review.


Meeting customers’ evolving communication needs

As hybrid working becomes more permanent within the business community, Microsoft Teams adoption has soared. Teams Calling is a powerful tool for organisations looking to maximise collaboration and minimise technological friction.

“Microsoft Teams Calling enables organisations to truly unify their global communications for a modern and agile workplace,” says Steve Flavell.
