Carousel Industries Achieves Calling for Microsoft Teams Advanced Specialization and Launches Teams Managed Services Offering

EXETER, R.I., Dec. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carousel Industries, a leader in communication and network technologies, professional and managed services, security and cloud solutions, today announced it is among the first IT services providers worldwide to attain the Calling for Microsoft Teams Advanced Specialization.

The specialization enables Microsoft Gold partners to further demonstrate deep knowledge, extensive experience, and proven success in deploying and managing the Microsoft 365 Phone System, Calling Plans and Direct Routing.

One of the requirements for this specialization is a minimum of 2,500 active Microsoft Teams calling users. Carousel has easily met this goal through the deployment of more than 55,000 Microsoft Teams calling seats in 2020, making it one of the most experienced and skilled service providers in the Microsoft Partner Network. Carousel customers are increasingly utilizing Calling for Microsoft Teams as a modern voice solution combining unified communications and teamwork to effectively collaborate with colleagues, customers and partners. To provide further value, Carousel has launched its managed service offering for proactive monitoring, management, and automated provisioning across simple and the most complex multi-vendor Teams integrations for both voice and video.

“We've seen tremendous growth of Teams adoption in 2020 and I'm proud of the success our customers have achieved while working with our experienced engineers,” said Mike Rinner, Director of Microsoft Collaboration Solutions at Carousel. “These engagements have had a positive impact on our customers' business, which is our primary objective.  The advanced specialization highlights the partners who can be viewed as most capable when migrating, modernizing, and managing Microsoft Teams Phone System.”

“Carousel's inherent value to its customers has always been a vendor-agnostic approach, understanding that most organizations have multiple collaboration solutions that seamlessly need to work together,” said Tony McQueen, Vice President, UC and Collaboration at Carousel. "A Microsoft Gold Partner since 2004, Carousel has a deep technical bench of UC experts supporting the integration or migration strategies for enterprises looking to adopt Microsoft Teams calling.  Our expertise across Cisco, Avaya, SBC's, and multiple video solutions gives customers a single partner approach for handling any topology to fit their specific needs.”
