Outcome

Enterprise voice moved to Teams with PSTN continuity and the legacy platform retired.

The problem

Enterprise voice still ran on a legacy Skype for Business platform across multiple data centres, while collaboration had already moved to Teams.

What I did

  • Led the full migration of users, numbers and call flows to Teams Phone.
  • Designed PSTN integration and collaborative calling for the new platform.
  • Automated bulk changes with PowerShell to keep cutovers fast and repeatable.
  • Migrated the remaining voice infrastructure to virtualised hardware and documented the environment end-to-end.

Result

One platform for meetings, chat and calling, with a supportable, documented voice environment.
