2/18/2022 – The Landis Contact Center for Microsoft Teams has always had the capability to create Microsoft Teams IVRs. In their latest update they have released a Visio-like voice app designer that allows just about anyone to create call flows.

“Our goal is to make contact center and call flow design for Microsoft Teams as simple as possible” says Landis Technologies managing owner Matt Landis, “Our IVR Designer makes voice call flow design as simple as creating a Microsoft Visio chart or a Power Automate Flow. Just add the feature blocks to create the functionality you want.”

Common feature blocks like play prompt, text to speech, tone input, call transfer, business hours, data dips and decisions, means you can make most flows you can imagine. Surveys, account information retrieval, dial-in information lines, databased routing, multi-level auto attendants, Microsoft Power Automate integration and more is possible.

Realtime and historical analytics are available for voice apps built using the Landis IVR Designer. The calls into these voice apps are handled by the Landis Contact Center IVR Bot. (not the 1st party Microsoft Teams Auto Attendant) Landis Contact Center for Microsoft Teams customers may use the IVR/Voice Apps whether or not they are not using Queueing & Agents component of the contact center.

This functionality is available right now. You can setup a fully working trial immediately.

How to Extend Skype for Business Online Usage Beyond July 31, 2021

June 1, 2021June 1, 2021adminLeave a comment

Some of our Skype for Business Online users need additional time to upgrade their Attendant Console for Skype for Business or other Skype for Business extensions like Attendant Console, Public Announcement System, Door Bell, Elevator Phone, Virtual Receptionist or other ISV solution to Microsoft Teams. If you need additional time to upgrade to Microsoft Teams you request an extension. Below we outline how to extend your usage of Skype for Business Online beyond July 31, 2021. (Skype for Business Server will be support well beyond 2021, so is not in focus here.)

The first step is to watch your Teams Admin Center (TAC) for a Microsoft Teams upgrade notice.

When you receive it click “Request extension”. Next you will explain your reason for wanting an extension.

You will now be notified that your Skype for Business Online extension request has been received.

After a few days you will a notification in Teams Admin Center (TAC) about your extension. (In our case it was 2 days). It should like something like the below.

We suggest that you work towards upgrading to Microsoft Teams as soon as possible. If you need help migrating to a Microsoft Teams Attendant Console, you can monitor our progress here.
