AVI-SPL Named Microsoft Managed Partner

To coincide with this shift, AVI-SPL prepared a new Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro-Tier II service subscription to supplement the new license and match the original Microsoft Teams Rooms Premium license scope at the legacy cost. 

“We’re avid believers in the elevated collaboration experience Microsoft Teams Rooms deliver,” said AVI-SPL's Tim Riek, executive vice president of technology solutions. “To champion this, we’ve developed a thoughtful portfolio of professional, managed, and support services to help customers deploy and operate their Teams environments. Our latest Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro-Tier II service is one more way we ensure customers create new business value with Microsoft.” 

The new AVI-SPL Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro-Tier II service adds 24/7 live technical support for Microsoft Teams Rooms Pro license holders. This extra layer of on-demand, personalized tech support is especially important for customers with widescale enterprise deployments of Microsoft Teams Rooms. AVI-SPL will leverage its Global Services Operations Centers to deliver this new service.
