Why Virtual Team

Five reasons clients stay past the first hire

Dedicated

One resource, only yours

No shared queue, no rotating cast. Your dedicated resource works exclusively for you and stays.

Leadership

25 years of Australian market experience

Founder Rohit Sahdev's 25 years in the Australian market, including senior leadership at Telstra, shape how every dedicated team is managed.

Transparent

You always know what your team is doing

Every dedicated resource works behind Screenshot Monitor — auditable activity and reporting, not a black box.

Flexible

No more "That's not my job."

Your dedicated outsourced resource adapts to what your business needs, takes ownership and grows their career by stepping up to new challenges.

Built for now

Capacity without the hiring squeeze

Skilled and reliable operational talent is harder to hire locally right now. A dedicated resource adds capacity without adding to that pressure.

The outcome this role is built for

Voice issues diagnosed with evidence, not guesswork — because SIP traces and call-quality data get read properly instead of a call being blamed on "the network" by default.

Role scope

What this role owns day to day

Core responsibilities

  • Provision and support extensions, users, DDI numbers, handsets, hunt groups, auto attendants, call queues, voicemail and dial plans
  • Configure and troubleshoot hosted voice, SIP trunks, SBCs, routing, codecs, QoS and number porting; analyse SIP traces, CDRs and call-quality evidence
  • Administer Microsoft Teams Phone using Direct Routing or Operator Connect, including voice policies, routing and approved tenant changes
  • Support UK dealer platforms such as Gamma Horizon/Horizon Collaborate and 3CX, plus Cisco, Mitel or Avaya environments where contracted
  • Coordinate supplier escalation, maintenance, migration and fault communications; maintain diagrams, runbooks and as-built records

Skills and platform evidence

  • Gamma Horizon/Horizon Collaborate and Gamma SIP services for channel/dealer environments; 3CX administration and common Yealink/Poly endpoints where relevant.
  • Microsoft Teams Phone, Direct Routing and Operator Connect; AudioCodes or Ribbon SBC experience.
  • Cisco BroadWorks/BroadSoft, CUCM or Webex Calling; Mitel and Avaya for legacy or mixed estates.
  • SIP, RTP, DDI numbering, dial plans, call routing, QoS, Wireshark/SIP trace analysis and IP networking fundamentals.
  • UK operational context: supplier portals, number porting, hosted voice migration, first/second-line escalation and clear customer SLA updates.
Flexibility

Works your hours. Picks up the work.

UK business hours

Aligned to your primary time zone and holiday calendar for day-to-day coverage.

9am–5pm style coverage, matched to your roster

Extended coverage

Stretch shift start/end times to close the gap before and after your local team is online.

Early-start or late-finish shifts, by agreement

Round-the-clock rotation

Rotating dedicated resources for genuine 24-hour coverage, including weekends.

Multiple dedicated seats, handover documented

What "no that's not my job" looks like in practice: a call-quality complaint doesn't match a known pattern — the SIP trace still gets pulled and read properly, instead of the ticket being closed as "working as intended."

What stays with your authorised staff

Physical handset installation, cabling and on-site cutovers stay outside the standard remote scope, and remain with authorised local personnel.

Not exclusive to MSPs

The same voice skillset, needed anywhere a business runs its own phone system

Common today

Voice issues bounced between the carrier and the IT team

  • No one owns SIP trace and call-quality diagnosis end to end
  • Number porting and moves/adds/changes queue up
  • Reporting on voice health is ad hoc at best
The alternative

A dedicated Telephony Engineer, outsourced to us

  • One engineer, dedicated to your voice platform
  • Reports to your own IT or ops manager, not a third party
  • Same Screenshot Monitor transparency, direct to you
Where this shape of role also fits

Other UK industries — coming soon

The same SIP and call-routing discipline applies anywhere a business runs its own voice platform.
