RESONATE FOR MANUFACTURING

Digitally transforming manufacturing with Microsoft Teams

At Resonate we help IT & Operations professionals in the manufacturing industry transform Microsoft Teams into a fully-featured, enterprise-ready voice and UC platform, delivered as a managed service, to create a central hub for operations and communication. We do this by leveraging our team of industry-leading experts in Microsoft UC and sector experience to create a bespoke environment tailored to the needs of manufacturers that integrates with critical business systems using established Microsoft Technologies. We know that the ability to integrate with and collaborate around data from a range of sources, including analogue and legacy systems can help our customers operate in a more agile and efficient way.

The industry situation

Hold on to your hats (or, should we say, safety helmets), changes are coming thick and fast in manufacturing right now and the pace of transformation is showing no signs of slowing down. Like many industries, as a result of the emergence of new technologies and the widespread disruption caused by the pandemic, manufacturers are busy assessing a whole new set of challenges and opportunities right now.

Implications and challenges

Today, many manufacturing organisations face a split between their voice platform and their digital communication systems. So, for example, voice might reside on legacy technology, sometimes cloud-based but often on-premise, poorly integrated into the organisation’s other systems. That’s bad news for manufacturers like you, as it slows down your all-important digital transformation. It’s also bad news for your workforce who are working less efficiently with out-of-date communication solutions.
