The year 2020 has been a year of firsts for many businesses. The COVID-19 pandemic that plague 2020 caused many businesses to temporarily shut down to prevent further spread of the virus. However, for companies to continue their operation, they had to come up with alternative strategies. One of these strategies is the work from home setting. Had the pandemic struck a decade ago, a majority of businesses would shut down permanently because it was hard during that time to set up remote offices. Fortunately, today’s communications technologies have allowed companies to effectively and efficiently adapt to work from home settings. One of these technologies is the Microsoft Teams Voice.

Cost-effective Plans
