Firebird Events successfully adopts cost effective cloud-based phone system

AspiraCloud is delighted to support Firebird Events with the successful adoption of MicrosoftTeams Phone.

Established in 2000, Firebird Events is an award winning event management company based in Hampshire. From conferences and weddings to exhibitions and team building exercises, the team provide entertainment and event production services throughout the UK and Europe.

Having invested in Microsoft 365 back in 2021 with the support of AspiraCloud, the business was working with an incumbent telephony solution that was proving unreliable and inflexible for the demands of remote working. Following a recommendation from AspiraCloud, Teams Phone was proposed as an alternative solution for calls.

Explains Adrian Edgar, Managing Director at AspiraCloud: “With its easy integration into Microsoft 365 and the ability to video call, it made perfect sense to introduce Teams Phone into the business to replace the failing phone system in place. This cost effective, collaborative cloud-based phone system enables users to make both internal and external calls to any landline or mobile number, directly from the Teams app, as well as the ability to combine calling, chat and meetings.”

As the business will still under contract with their existing telephony supplier, AspiraCloud was able to merge the two phone systems to avoid any downtime. Licences were purchased and all 23 users were swiftly assigned individual Teams Phone numbers.

Josh Williams, Head of Production at Firebird Events adds: “The switchover process was seamless and delivered by AspiraCloud in just a week. The call quality offered by Microsoft Teams is excellent. The system is easy to use, required very little user training and the ability to connect using voice, video, chat or messaging at any time, from any location is invaluable to our business operations.”

Alex Boswell, Technical Manager at Firebird Events concludes: “The service provided by AspiraCloud has been outstanding. The support team is extremely helpful, where they rapidly address any issues and swiftly find a solution to any of our concerns. It’s a pleasure to work with such a responsive team and we are completely confident in their IT service and support.”
