Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Cisco Collaboration Engineer to support the transition from Cisco telephony to Microsoft Teams across the customers commercial sites.
The role focuses on analyzing, cleaning up, and consolidating existing Cisco environments, while preparing the organization for a Microsoft Teams-based telephony setup.
