Enterprise Soft Clients, Microsoft Teams or an Alternate, Clearspan Podcast

Clearspan is a service provider for service providers, and we want to make it easy for you to do business for us, says Ross Hubble, Director of Product Management at Clearspan. “We're phone people. We understand customer desires, et cetera. And we want to make products that we want to make meaningful software for our customers that benefit them.”

In early 2024, Microsoft uncoupled MS Teams from the suite of apps included in O365. This means if customers want to add Teams, they must purchase it separately. Then, if they wish to add Unified communications, they must obtain Phone System licensing or Operator connect from Microsoft, which can get expensive when looking at per-user pricing.

Clearspan offers its own purpose-built UC soft client PING. This provides enhanced collaboration functionality above and beyond Teams as the full PING UC suite of features is all fully integrated with our UC Solution Clearspan Cloud. For customers already invested in Teams E5 licensing or heavily leveraging Teams, Clearspan offers a very tight integration between Teams and Clearspan’s Provisioning portal OpEasy which makes Teams provisioning simple.
