We’re pleased to share an exciting update regarding our services with Microsoft Teams.

As of January 16, Microsoft has begun rolling out a new capability in Public Preview that includes co-branding. We are proud to confirm that NTT DATA is part of this launch.

What this means for you?

As your provider of PSTN numbers and network connectivity, the NTT DATA brand will now be visible directly within your Microsoft Teams client — across desktop, web, iOS, and Android platforms. Our logo will also appear within the Teams interface during 1:1 PSTN calls that users make or receive.

How this benefits your organization?

• Clear service visibility – Our presence within the Teams interface reinforces transparency around your PSTN service provider.
• Streamlined support experience – With NTT DATA identified within the dial pad and in-call screens, users can more easily direct PSTN-related inquiries to the appropriate support team, helping ensure faster and more accurate assistance.
• Enhanced user confidence – Visible service alignment between Microsoft Teams and NTT DATA strengthens clarity around your voice connectivity environment.

We believe this enhancement further strengthens the integrated experience between Microsoft Teams and our voice services.

Please note that the display of the NTT DATA logo is enabled by Microsoft and is not configurable at the customer level.

If you would like to learn more about this update or discuss how it supports your collaboration strategy, please feel free to contact us.
