campus telephony migration

The campus telephony migration tag covers the University of Maryland, Baltimore’s planned transition from Cisco Webex Unified Calling to Microsoft Teams Calling. Coverage focuses on the yearlong rollout scheduled from May 2026 through July 2027, including user training and broader telecommunications planning. The project is presented as a campus communications consolidation effort, reducing the number of platforms, licenses, and desk phones while routing more daily work through Microsoft 365. This tag is relevant to readers following university phone-system modernization, Microsoft Teams adoption, enterprise communications changes, and the practical effects of moving from dedicated telephony appliances to software-based calling.
