Breaking New Ground: Leading the Way with Canada’s First Contact Center Voice Implementation

19 Aug, 2025

Canada’s First Contact Center Voice Implementation

In the fast-moving world of customer service technology, there’s something special about being first. It’s not just about bragging rights; it’s about setting the standard for what’s possible. That’s exactly HSO achieved when we became the first Canadian Microsoft partner to successfully implement the Contact Center Voice Platform.

Our client came to us with a vision: they wanted more than a basic telephony system. Their existing Bell 8x8 solution handled calls, but that was it. Their current system had no transcription capabilities, no seamless integration with their CRM, and no streamlined workflows. Agents were juggling phone calls, handwritten notes, and manual data entry into separate systems. Every call required double the effort, and important details risked slipping through the cracks.

At HSO, we take a solution-first approach. We start by understanding our clients’ challenges, business goals, and current technology landscape. From there, we identify and design the right solution, leveraging our deep expertise in Microsoft business applications, cloud platforms, and industry-specific best practices.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center Voice

In this case, our analysis made it clear: Microsoft Dynamics 365 Contact Center Voice was the ideal fit.

Dynamics 365 Contact Center is an AI-first contact center solution from Microsoft that works with any customer relationship management (CRM) system or even without one. It enables seamless communication across voice, chat, SMS, and digital channels, all within a single, integrated workspace.

Implementing contact center gave our client the ability to:

  • Transcribe calls in real time, enabling quick reference and more accurate case documentation.
  • Work entirely within a single application, eliminating time-wasting manual entry and system switching.
  • Integrate seamlessly with their existing Dynamics 365 environment, ensuring customer information is always up-to-date and accessible.
  • Improve reliability and uptime, replacing a solution that struggled with outages.

The Result?

A smooth transition backed by strong user adoption. As the first Contact Center Voice implementation in Canada, this project offered a unique opportunity for HSO to work hand-in-hand with Microsoft’s global Black Belt and product development teams.

In the client’s own words, the HSO team “tackled challenges head-on with great professionalism and a positive attitude,” demonstrating a “collaborative spirit” and “transparent communication” throughout. They credited the successful go-live as a testament to HSO’s expertise, dedication, and strong partnership with Microsoft.

We’ve proven what’s possible with Canada’s first Contact Center Voice implementation and now it’s your turn. Our team will guide you every step of the way, from strategy to go-live, to achieve a contact center transformation that delivers real results.
