Announced in November, this certification enables businesses to enhance their Teams ecosystems with critical functionalities such as SIP trunk call routing and VoIP endpoint connectivity.

Vodia Sales Engineer Eric Altman represented Vodia at a meeting with BCM One, SIP Trunk, Cove Central and a number of elite resellers in Washington, DC to discuss joint strategies for 2025. We have been a longtime partner of BCM One, SIP Trunk and Cove Central, and we’ve been part of the Cove Central Technology Alliance Partner Program (TAPP) since November 2023. 

"It was great to get together with BCM One, SIP Trunk, Cove and some of our elite partners,” Mr. Altman said. “We talked about some exciting stuff and discussed some of the things we want to accomplish together next year. It was definitely very positive - could be the beginning of something big…” 

On November 19, we announced the Vodia PBX is now certified for Microsoft Teams.  

Vodia founder and CEO, Dr. Christian Stredicke, recently joined Doug Green, Publisher of Telecom Reseller, on the Technology Reseller News Podcast, to discuss this important milestone for Vodia. 

With the Vodia PBX, Teams becomes a powerful platform for collaboration and communication, giving businesses who add Vodia to their Teams ecosystem crucial functionalities unavailable with Teams on its own, particularly the routing of calls to SIP trunk providers and sending and receiving calls to and from VoIP endpoints, including: DECT solutions, door phones and alarms, hotel room/patient room phones and overhead paging equipment; Vodia also gives businesses a “last-mile” connection via analog gateways such as 2-wire VoIP phones and elevator and lobby phones. It’s the perfect solution for business communication in just about any industry, including call centers, commercial and residential real estate, critical infrastructure, hospitality, maritime and cruising, medical/nursing homes and transportation, among others.
