Telstra and Microsoft
Working together to empower a modern connected workplace.
You may have heard Telstra and Microsoft announcing a strategic partnership to co-develop solutions unique to the Australian market. Since joining forces, we have created Telstra Calling for Office 365 – a unique, market leading voice calling service bringing together Microsoft’s leading productivity apps and Telstra’s leading voice, networks and services.
Together, we have addressed PSTN calling in Australia to create greater differentiated value for customers like you. Now you can access and consume cloud and infrastructure services from both Telstra and Microsoft, in a simpler way than ever before. Telstra Calling for Office 365 paves the way for businesses to move voice services into the Microsoft cloud, reducing the burden on telephony infrastructure management. While getting the benefits from a “Pay As You Go” plan and quality that you trust from Telstra’s nationwide and global footprint.
We’ve also enhanced the overall customer experience and made contractual process simpler. In majority of cases, you will be able to contract your PSTN calling plans for Microsoft under an existing Telstra BSA (Business Services Agreement). This means you will be able to retain your existing “whole of voice” discounts under the agreed and existing legal framework, with your new “cloud voice” services added as an addendum or schedule. You can also retain your existing Service Level Agreements in your legal framework and contracts, with those for “cloud voice” being added as an addendum or amendment.
These changes have established Telstra as the preferred reseller and voice calling provider for our customers choosing Microsoft cloud voice solutions. Our objective is help you create a reliable and seamless experience across all collaboration tools and platforms, so your people can work better together and perform at their very best.
