The piece explores how legacy procurement and operating models from traditional providers are out of step with how global organizations now run Teams and other collaboration tools at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve outlines the market\u2019s recent shifts: the move from on-premises to cloud services, the integration of telephony into UC platforms like Microsoft Teams, and the acceleration toward single global providers that can deliver consistent service, contracts, portals, and support worldwide. He notes that more than 100 telcos have aligned with Microsoft\u2019s Operator Connect and Direct Routing programs as enterprises prioritize unified communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The article makes the case for eliminating the inefficiencies of multiple regional vendors.
