Today on this sponsored episode of Priority Queue: making the transition from Skype for Business to Teams, a chat and collaboration platform from Microsoft. Teams runs on Azure and integrates with Office 365.

Our sponsor is Ribbon Communications, which is the new name of the combined companies Sonus Networks and Genband.

Brad Chapin, Director of Strategic Alliances at Ribbon Communications, joins us to get nerdy about voice, collaboration, Skype, and Microsoft Teams.

We discuss the differences between Skype for Business and Teams, how Ribbon’s Session Border Controllers (SBCs) can help you integrate the two platforms even in a hybrid cloud environment, and how organizations can move from one platform to another while keeping existing phone numbers.
