Similar to Gamma, Exactive has deep expertise in UCaaS and has developed a multi-tenant Microsoft Teams PSTN routing platform, Cloud UCX™. Gamma is already able to integrate its SIP Trunking service with Microsoft Teams, enabling customers to use the public telephone network direct from Teams. Gamma's direct routing capability offers seamless integration without the need for additional on-premise equipment, licensing, or a site visit. By acquiring Exactive, Gamma will also enhance its offering in the Microsoft ecosystem to help businesses quickly migrate to Teams.\n \n \n The Board believes that as part of Gamma, Exactive's growth can accelerate.
