For many organizations, managing phone numbers has become a real challenge. Numbers are being purchased individually or in ranges. Often, they are then managed from a spreadsheet to keep track of which numbers have been assigned and to whom. A lot of work, considering the ever-changing workforce where people join, leave, or move into your organization. Numbers are assigned to employees manually, one by one, which requires multiple applications and platforms. After that, this is then configured to Microsoft Teams using error-prone scripts. How do you keep track? And how do you know that the data in your spreadsheet represents the real situation and is correct?
At Purple, we felt like this needed to change. Number management should be made easy. And that is exactly why we developed a new, unique solution: Purple Assistant. Manage numbers quickly, easily and securely.
The Purple Assistant (PA) has been developed to make your number management easier. From managing phone numbers and assigning numbers to users and address books to managing call queues and auto attendants: with Purple Assistant you can do this quickly, easily and securely. It can also be used directly in Microsoft Teams. And the best thing? This new app is available for everyone!
