• Challenges of hot-desking with legacy systems and how Microsoft Teams solved them

• Why user adoption and training matter more than the technical migration itself

• Managing contact centre users with Voca's presence controls, analytics, and supervisor dashboards

• Lessons learnt about extension numbers, call transfers, and user expectations in Teams

• How visibility and reporting encourage accountability in hybrid working environments
