• Microsoft certification requires rigorous audits, financial commitment, and ongoing platform alignment.
• Vendors must continuously adapt to Teams updates to maintain compatibility and compliance.
• Numonix powers advanced features like filtered recording, native Teams app support, and AI integration.
