Rapid Deployment of Modern Work using Microsoft Meetings, Calling & Devices

More than 270 million people rely on Teams for hybrid work. Including a great deal of NWN Carousel’s customers who trust our expertise to create a connected experience for end-users adopting a hybrid workforce. Rapid migrations away from traditional telephony solutions fueled our mission to provide both on premise and cloud based Microsoft implementations, upgrades, and migrations.  With the global pandemic, organizations were left scrambling and adopting solutions that weren’t necessarily part of their strategic plans.  Exiting the pandemic, organizations are now laser-focused on consolidating their communication needs into their overall strategic objectives, primarily Microsoft 365.

Key Lessons Learned for Rapid Deployment

Within a short timeframe, often as little as two weeks, our hosted Teams Direct Routing as a Service offering powered by our Experience Management Portal, provides customers with a single pane of glass for managing their Teams Calling, Day 2 Management, analytics, and support tickets. This service, which is integrated in less than 30 minutes, provides cost attractive ROIs at a fraction of the cost of other UCaaS solutions from Zoom or Ring Central.

We offer vast consulting experience, with over 1 million seats migrated to the cloud. Based on our extensive design, implementation, migration experience, certifications, proven and repeatable project methodology, and project management approach, NWN Carousel is uniquely qualified to deliver highly successful Microsoft solutions.
