Helping charities make significant savings and improve communications

Cost effectively call, connect and collaborate with Microsoft Teams Phone

AspiraCloud is delighted to be supporting many UK charities in their drive to reduce overall operational costs.

How? With the introduction of Microsoft Teams Phone.

Microsoft Teams is an ideal communications tool for charities and non-profits, using it for chat, file sharing, collaboration, internal phone calls and video conferencing. It also includes a phone add-on, Microsoft Teams Phone, which enables users to make and receive outgoing calls to or from any landline or mobile number, directly in Teams. And since Microsoft has recently cut the cost of Teams Phone bundles for those clients supported by a Cloud Service Provider like AspiraCloud – it makes it a cost-effective choice for charities.

This modern, all-in-one app provides a seamless communications experience while significantly reducing call costs. Teams Phone offers reliable, secure calling, and includes advanced call management features such as call transfer, multi-level auto attendants and call queues, effectively enabling the complete replacement of a desk phone set up.

Many of our charity customers are already enjoying the benefits of Microsoft Teams Phone:

Kirklees Citizens Advice and Law Centre work smarter on a single platform, enabling staff to manage their daily work all in one place. RCJ Citizens Advice & Law Centre cost effectively liaise with clients over the phone, holding video conferences and syncing calendars, while Citizens Advice Islington easily discusses projects with colleagues using the chat function and file share.

Explains Adrian Edgar, CEO at AspiraCloud: “Teams Phone is economical, reliable and scalable. This digital, software-based system reduces need for expensive hardware – as calls can be made directly from the Microsoft Teams app, using any internet-enabled device. It means users can stay connected from their computer, tablet, mobile device, or desk phone, as well as being a fantastic way for charities and not-for-profit organisations to swiftly introduce significant cost savings on calls.”

Working with over AspiraCloud works with charities, trusts, foundations, public service providers, and other non-profit organisations to enhance the quality of their IT services in order to support society and those less fortunate or vulnerable.
