Fleet Town Council: Transforming Communication with Microsoft Teams Phone System

Challenges 

Fleet Town Council was operating on an ageing analogue phone system, which posed significant challenges with the impending analogue switch-off. This outdated technology lacked the flexibility required for modern work environments, limiting the council’s ability to support remote work and seamless communication. The council recognised the need for a robust, cloud-based solution to future-proof its operations and enable flexibility for its team. 

Approach

CloudyIT worked closely with Fleet Town Council to transition to a Microsoft Teams Phone System. Through tailored consultations with staff and councillors, the team ensured the new solution met the council’s unique needs. CloudyIT set up a cloud-based PSTN solution, integrating the council’s landline number into Microsoft Teams. This allowed users to make and receive calls from the office, at home, or on the go using the Microsoft Teams app on their mobile phones. Comprehensive training was provided, ensuring that every user was confident and capable of using the system effectively. 

Outcomes

Fleet Town Council experienced a transformative shift in their communication capabilities. The flexibility of the Microsoft Teams Phone System empowered staff and councillors to work efficiently from anywhere, reducing missed calls and improving responsiveness to residents. The new system also streamlined operations by consolidating communication tools within Microsoft Teams. 

"“Our transition to the Microsoft Teams Phone System with CloudyIT has been seamless. The flexibility and functionality of the system have transformed how we work, enabling us to stay connected no matter where we are. CloudyIT’s support and training made the entire process effortless.”
