Switch Adds Microsoft Office 365 Support

Switch Communications has launched its cloud-based phone system for Microsoft Office 365 users.

Switch is now also available to companies on any productivity suite, as well as offering deep integrations with both Microsoft Office 365 and Google Apps.

Switch for Office 365 is designed to accelerate employee productivity, providing context around business communications through integrations with Outlook mail, Outlook calendar and LinkedIn. Office 365 users will be able to log in with their Microsoft credentials, have their Outlook contacts instantly synced, have their calendar and email integrated so they can see the most recent shared emails and appointments when on a Switch call, and have instant access to the always-current corporate directory.

“Work is a thing you do, not a place you go. We understand the value of mobility and giving people control over the tools they need to be productive, and Switch is designed with them in mind,” said Craig Walker, CEO of Switch Communications. “Regardless of productivity suite, platform or size — your business can be an enterprise or a three-person shop — with Switch your phone system and your experience is and should be the same: easy-to-use, scalable and with the flexibility of a true cloud service.”
