Vonage Contact Center and Microsoft Teams integration (pilot)
See Microsoft Teams user availability in the VCC address book, which makes it easy for agents to call or consult with a Microsoft Teams user without having to know (and enter) their phone number each time
Work smarter with Microsoft Teams user and VCC agent presence synchronization, to help agents decide which Microsoft Teams user to call or consult with by showing the user’s call availability

We’re excited to announce these Salesforce Service Cloud Voice “Partner Telephony” features:
External routing provides the option for VCC to route voice alongside digital channels and a single routing engine for all channels handled by an agent in Salesforce
External routing also facilitates transfers to Salesforce queues, for distributing work to the most appropriate agent
For Vonage customers who have either Microsoft Dynamics or Zendesk
Specific enhancements include:
No-Code Data Connector for Microsoft Dynamics removes the requirement for specialist knowledge
Further usability enhancements to the Zendesk for Support and Zendesk for Sell integrations
