In an era where Microsoft Teams is central to communication and collaboration, the treasure trove of data within call records has remained largely untapped due to the complexity and technical challenges of accessing and analyzing it. Call Record Insights simply and efficiently enables organizations to understand and act on call data.
The Challenge: Navigating the Data Maze
Organizations have long grappled with two major hurdles in leveraging Teams call records:
- The Need for Custom Solutions: Accessing and managing call record data traditionally required bespoke development, a significant barrier that deterred many from utilizing the Call Records API effectively.
- Complex Data Structures: The breadth and depth of data made available via the raw call record is immense and deeply layered. Making this data ready for analysis or reporting could be challenging. Call Record Insights flattens the call record into a well-structured format, reducing effort, and providing you with greater customization for accessing and rendering your data.
