The basics

What is BroadWorks Microsoft Teams integration?

It connects Cisco BroadWorks to Microsoft Teams so your customers can handle their BroadWorks calls without leaving Teams. TeamMate does this with PBX Connector: each Teams user registers to BroadWorks with their own address of record, and TeamMate automates the Direct Routing link and supplies the session border controllers. BroadWorks stays the phone system, and you keep the customer.

In Teams

What BroadWorks users get in Teams.

Calls on the Teams dial pad

Teams Calls becomes a softphone on BroadWorks, using the user’s BroadWorks number or extension, on desktop, browser and mobile.

BroadWorks features kept

Hold, transfer and voicemail still run on BroadWorks. Custom soft keys put the BroadWorks functions you choose one tap away.

Voicemail alerts

New BroadWorks voicemail notifications arrive in Teams, so messages are not missed away from the desk phone.

Presence in sync

On a BroadWorks call, Teams shows On a Call automatically. Presence Pause stops calls ringing through to Teams during meetings.

Pro Transfer

Transfer a BroadWorks call to anyone in Teams, with the transfer reported back to BroadWorks. How Pro Transfer works

Screen pops

Show caller details from your CRM or other systems as a card in Teams before the call is answered.

Built for BroadWorks

Made for multi-tenant BroadWorks.

Several BroadWorks sources, one tenant

Add a PBX location for each BroadWorks source, on the same or different SIP domains, so groups, enterprises or service providers can all route calls into one Microsoft 365 tenant.

Fits your network

DNS SRV or host lookup, UDP, TCP or TLS transport, your outbound proxy and your codec order.

How it works

BroadWorks in Teams in three steps.

Set up your portal

Add your branding and connect the customer’s Microsoft 365 tenant with minimal permissions.

Add the BroadWorks location and users

Enter the SIP domain, outbound proxy, lookup type, transport and voicemail feature code. For each user, add their address of record, line ID and SIP password. TeamMate builds the Direct Routing link.

Make and receive calls

BroadWorks calls ring in Teams on desktop, browser and mobile, alongside existing phones and clients.

Options

Three ways to connect BroadWorks to Teams.

Most BroadWorks and Teams integrations use one of three approaches. They differ in where the call is answered and how many BroadWorks features come along.

Cross launch

A Teams app opens a separate BroadWorks softphone. Calls move out of Teams, and you support a second client on every desktop.

Twinning

BroadWorks also rings a separate Teams number. Calls are answered in Teams, but BroadWorks features are lost and each user needs an extra number or trunk.

Registration (TeamMate)

Each Teams user registers to BroadWorks like any SIP phone. Calls are answered in Teams with BroadWorks features kept and no extra number per user.

More integrations

Other phone systems in Teams.

TeamMate also connects Mitel, 3CX, Metaswitch, NetSapiens, Avaya, Cisco to Microsoft Teams, along with 80+ PBX types and variants tested with PBX Connector.

FAQ

BroadWorks and Teams questions.

Does Microsoft Teams integrate with BroadWorks?

Yes. TeamMate PBX Connector registers each Teams user to BroadWorks with their own address of record, so BroadWorks calls ring on the Teams dial pad on desktop, browser and mobile, with BroadWorks features and voicemail.

What do we need from BroadWorks for each user?

The user’s address of record as the SIP user, their line ID as the authentication ID, and the SIP password. For the location, the SIP domain, outbound proxy and voicemail feature code.

Can one Teams tenant use more than one BroadWorks source?

Yes. Add a PBX location for each BroadWorks source, on the same or different SIP domains, and route them all into the customer’s single Microsoft 365 tenant.

Can users keep BroadWorks voicemail?

Yes. You choose per user whether to use BroadWorks voicemail instead of Teams voicemail.

Does Teams presence work with BroadWorks?

Yes. When a user is unavailable in Teams, for example in a meeting, Presence Pause can set them to Do Not Disturb on BroadWorks so calls follow their busy handling. This uses the standard SIP event package (RFC 6665), which BroadWorks supports.

Do users need a Microsoft Teams Phone license?

With PBX Connector, yes, as with any Direct Routing setup. If you would rather not buy Teams Phone licenses, the ACS Call App add-on lets users make and take calls in Teams without them.

Do we need a session border controller (SBC)?

An SBC is needed for any SIP connection to Microsoft Teams, and it is included. TeamMate runs SBCs in 9 Microsoft Azure regions, so there is nothing to install.

Can we sell it under our own brand?

Yes. Service providers get a white-label portal and a Teams app with their own name and logo, and can provision customers in the portal or through a REST API. With Bespoke Access, customers can even complete Microsoft setup inside your own portal.

How is it priced, and can we try it?

It is priced per user, per month. Service providers can start with a free 30-day proof of concept on their own system.
