How Luware transforms Microsoft Teams into a full contact center solution

5 minute read

Microsoft Teams has become a critical communication tool for businesses of all sizes. 

While it excels at collaboration, many organizations still don’t consider Teams a full-blown contact center solution.

But that’s quickly changing with solutions like Luware Nimbus.

Luware Nimbus is built natively into Microsoft Teams, transforming the platform into a fully functional contact center with real-time reporting, CRM integrations, and AI-powered automation. 

For organizations looking to streamline operations and improve customer experience, Nimbus offers an all-in-one solution that’s easy to deploy, scalable, and secure.

So, how can your organization deploy Luware Nimbus? Here’s what you need to know to get started.

The challenge: traditional contact centers are complex and disconnected

Most traditional contact centers rely on external systems that complicate deployment and ongoing management. Common challenges include:

  • Fragmented tools and third-party SBCs that require extensive integration
  • No defined ownership over who will manage and make changes to the platform
  • Long deployment times and difficult maintenance
  • Poor visibility into real-time performance metrics
  • Data privacy concerns when using multiple vendors for AI and automation

Alone, these challenges can greatly impact contact center performance. Combined, they quickly become a logistical nightmare.
