This week Microsoft announced that as of July 2018 they will be discontinuing support for Session Border Controllers (SBC) to connect third-party PBX systems to Exchange Online Unified Messaging (UM). This news forces many Microsoft customers to seek an alternative Unified Messaging solution for Office 365 that can connect to their existing on-premise PBX. Today AVST announced a significant promotion to ease the economic impact of this UM challenge for enterprises.
AVST provides Microsoft customers with an enterprise-class UM solution that enables them to continue using their existing PBX investments until they are ready to transition to the cloud and Skype for Business. AVST not only delivers Unified Messaging that is compatible with Office 365 and third-party PBX environments, but also provides enhanced functionality around Voice Messaging, Automated Attendant, Interactive Voice Response, and Call Center solutions. While alternative solutions require an immediate PBX replacement, AVST’s industry-leading telephony interoperability provides Microsoft customers with an evolutionary solution for achieving their migration goals to Skype for Business.
