Microsoft Teams Telephony — from manual to 30-second provisioning
What once required multiple teams and up to 27 hours now runs end-to-end in under a minute. This is how O365Automated transformed Teams Telephony provisioning into a fully automated, 24/7 workflow.
How it started
Teams Telephony provisioning was initially managed externally through a Dimension Data contract for about 100 colleagues each month. As the organization’s automation strategy matured, the team brought this capability in-house for faster, always-on service.
The journey from contract to cloud
Managed Services — Dimension Data
Teams Telephony provisioning handled externally. ~100 colleagues provisioned per month under a structured managed services contract.
Opportunity identified
An automation strategy review identified provisioning as a high-value candidate for end-to-end automation, reducing manual effort and improving SLA performance.
Cloud onboarding
The platform foundation was prepared with cloud architecture designed to support the automation engine and Remedy integration.
Enlivening, development & integration
Full automation workflow brought to life. BOT-driven provisioning, SRD form integration, billing updates, welcome emails, and Remedy ticket closure — all automated end-to-end.
Manual process vs automated workflow
The same eight steps: one manual process and one automation-driven process.
Manual process
People-drivenAutomated workflow
BOT-drivenWhat the manual process exposed
Incorrect call logging, insufficient information provided, and requestors unaware of the correct process — creating repeated rework cycles.
Inadequate information submitted with requests. Manager approvals delayed by 2–3 weeks. Multiple follow-ups needed before action could be taken.
Aged requests skewed SLA reporting and service performance visibility. Reporting became misleading and hard to act on.
Training sessions run, a 3-day SLA established, and multiuser requests split to improve throughput before automation was introduced.
What automation made possible
A structured SRD form ensured correct information was captured at submission — reducing errors, improving data quality, and enhancing client experience from the first touchpoint.
An agile cradle-to-grave automation platform capable of handling the entire provisioning lifecycle — from request intake to ticket closure — without human intervention.
BOT reads SRD forms, validates data, checks licensing, provisions telephony, updates billing, sends welcome emails, and closes the Remedy request — fully automated end-to-end.
