How it works

A complete, cloud-based solution with hybrid flexibility.

A fully-managed link into Microsoft Office 365

We provide a fully managed link directly into Office 365, so all you need is adequate internet access. There’s no need for complex technology rollouts. Each user is allocated a phone number associated with their Office 365 client. You can choose to migrate or port your existing landline numbers or allocate new ones via the administration portal.

Hybrid options for more flexibility

Hybrid is ideal if you’re not ready to move voice completely to the cloud. Host complex users in the Telstra private cloud and move those who are cloud-ready to the Microsoft public cloud. Alternatively, we can provide a managed gateway to connect your on-premises voice environment to the Microsoft Cloud.

Support at every step of the journey

We’ll help you at every stage of your move to the cloud, from consulting and design to deployment, management and around-the-clock support. Our network of specialist channel partners can also assist you in more places across Australia.

Simplified Connections and Reduced Implementation

Telstra Calling for Office 365 removes the complexity of managing a dedicated PSTN telephony network. Telstra provides a managed link bringing all your voice calls directly into Office 365. So all you need is adequate internet access, and all your telephony and data can be delivered anywhere at any time. Additionally, no special infrastructure or voice-calling access considerations exist when subscribing to Telstra Calling for Office 365. Avoid the long lead times often accompanied by waiting for conventional solutions to be set up and tested.

Use your Existing Numbers

Each user is allocated a phone number that is associated with their Office 365 client. This number brings the public telephony service directly from the Telstra phone network into Office 365. You can choose to migrate or port your existing phone numbers into Office 365 or allocate new ones. As your needs grow or users change roles, you can quickly reallocate numbers via the Office 365 administration portal.

Flexible Implementation

Opt for our hybrid solution if your entire organisation is not ready for full cloud migration. Keep complex users on-premise and start moving users to the Microsoft cloud at your own pace.
