Intermedia Adds Intelligent Archiving to Its Embedded Microsoft Teams Solution
Intermedia Cloud Communications has expanded Intermedia Archiving to support Microsoft Teams users that leverage Intermedia Unite Unified Communications (UC) and Intermedia Contact Center (CC) integrated within Microsoft Teams.
Intermedia is the first to bring Teams, UC, CC and archiving together in one fully integrated solution — eliminating the need for multiple vendors and simplifying communication management for businesses of all sizes.
With this enhancement, businesses can now capture, retain and manage Microsoft Teams chat and meeting interactions alongside Unite voice, SMS and Contact Center communications (voice, email, SMS, webchat and other digital channels) — and soon M365 Email — creating a centralized, role-based, compliance-driven repository with seamless access through a single pane of glass.
Intermedia has a longstanding strategy of eliminating the need for multiple providers by delivering a fully unified, enterprise-grade communications experience. This latest expansion is a natural extension of that approach, providing businesses with an intuitive, secure and fully integrated way to archive and manage their communications within Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 and their Intermedia solutions for one affordable price.
As a Microsoft Certified Solutions Partner (formerly Gold Partner) for more than 15 years, Intermedia continues to provide seamless, enterprise-grade integrations with Microsoft solutions, reinforcing its commitment to simplifying communications and data management for businesses.
Addressing the Growing Need for Secure Unified Communications Archiving
With regulatory requirements increasing and businesses handling sensitive communications across multiple platforms, having an integrated, secure way to retain and manage business interactions is more critical than ever.
"The ability to securely archive and manage interactions across platforms is no longer a 'nice-to-have' — it's a business necessity," said Jim Lundy, founder, CEO and lead analyst, Aragon Research. "With regulations evolving and businesses generating vast amounts of conversational data across UC and Contact Center platforms, organizations need a reliable, compliant way to store and analyze these interactions. Intermedia's expansion of Unified Archiving for Microsoft Teams, Unite, Contact Center and M365 Email provides businesses with a centralized, secure repository for storing and analyzing communications, which may help them govern communications and explore the potential for analytics."
Harnessing Archived Data for AI-Powered Business Intelligence
Beyond compliance and security, Intermedia Archiving helps businesses unlock the full potential of their communications data.
By consolidating Microsoft Teams, Intermedia Unite, Contact Center and M365 Email into a single, structured repository, organizations now have the ability to build a rich data foundation that can be leveraged by AI and analytics tools to:
- Identify emerging business trends.
- Uncover operational inefficiencies and potential risks.
- Spot new revenue opportunities based on customer interactions.
"With Intermedia Archiving, businesses aren't just protecting their data — they're building an invaluable resource for AI-driven business intelligence," said Irina Shamkova, chief product officer, Intermedia. "By enabling seamless archiving for Microsoft Teams users with Intermedia Unite, Contact Center and M365 Email, we’re giving businesses a way to safeguard critical interactions while unlocking insights that improve decision-making, enhance customer engagement, and drive smarter business operations."
