As some of you know I have over the years worked a lot with Competella as a switchboard for Lync and Skype for Business. One of my customer has started to move to Teams with Enterprise voice. One of the challenges was to get Competella to read presence during the transfer. I can present that we have done this in hybrid environment. Where the latest build of Competella R2.5 of the server and together with Hybrid Skype for Business we now can pick up presence information for the user who has Teams Only. Just a little config and it works. Be aware that this is just a temporary solution until Microsoft is comming with their API for presence information. Then I'm sure everyone who develop switchboards will come with a solution for 100% cloud based solutions. But for now Competella works. But the switchboard users need to be back on Skype for Business, otherwise you need to get a operator switchboard.

Many have seen it already, but here is more information about the architecture behind the Microsoft Teams.
