Stone Brewing Pivoted to Teams & Ribbon SBCs to Work from Home

Stone Brewing, the ninth-largest craft brewery in the United States, successfully transitioned to Microsoft Teams for direct calling with the help of Ribbon Communications' Session Border Controller (SBC) on Azure. This strategic move empowered seamless and efficient communication across their workforce, particularly during the rapid and unexpected shift to remote operations necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Ribbon’s advanced platform played a pivotal role in this transition, offering ease of implementation, robust security measures, and seamless integration with critical features like e911 for emergency response readiness. The brewery’s IT team praised the reliability and efficiency of Ribbon’s technology, which ensured uninterrupted operations, allowing the company to maintain high levels of productivity and responsiveness to customer needs. By leveraging Ribbon’s capabilities, Stone Brewing not only met the immediate challenges of remote work but also established Microsoft Teams as a robust communication platform ideally suited to their long-term business needs.
