Can FirstNet Apex BI Clarity report on Microsoft Teams calls?

Telephone Management & Cost Control · Answered by FirstNet Technology Services

Short answer

Yes. Clarity for MS Teams uses the Microsoft Graph API to report on inbound and outbound PSTN calls, call duration, abandonment, agent activity and cost-centre chargeback, going deeper than Teams' built-in call reporting. It works whether you call through Operator Connect, Direct Routing or Microsoft Calling Plans.

In detail

What it adds beyond Teams' native reports:

  • Chargeback of Teams call costs by department, cost centre, project or site.
  • Inbound and outbound PSTN volumes, duration and abandonment patterns.
  • Agent activity and queue statistics for customer-facing teams.
  • Live wallboards for supervisors.
  • Audit-grade reporting for POPIA, FSCA, healthcare and education programmes.

Microsoft's built-in Teams reporting focuses on basic call quality and per-user volumes, so on its own it does not produce cost-centre chargeback or contact-centre wallboards.

Set-up is light: your Microsoft 365 Global Admin grants Graph API permissions once during onboarding, and reports are tuned over 2 to 4 weeks after data starts flowing. Clarity for MS Teams is licensed per user. If part of your business still runs a PBX, Clarity combines both data sources in one tenant.
