Once known as Lync, Skype for Business will offer not only low cost voice and video calls, but also feature such as content sharing, online meetings, better integration via regular updates.<\/p>\n<p>In a blog post last week, Microsoft\u2019s corporate VP for Skype Gurdeep Pall revealed changes for Microsoft Lync with a new name, a new user interface, and new features. In his blog, Pall said, \u201cIn the first half of 2015, the next version of Lync will become Skype for Business with a new client experience, new server release and updates to the service in Office 365.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Our observations: Microsoft Lync continues to gain momentum \u2014 both as a partner with and a substitute for premise-based and hosted unified communications (UC) systems. For example, Lync integration is a \u201cmust have\u201d for UC systems today. Microsoft\u2019s move to further integrate Skype features and Skype\u2019s user base means more Lync integration work ahead for UC suppliers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/2846175\/uc-voip\/say-goodbye-to-microsoft-lync-hello-to-skype-for-business.html\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #dd3333;\">Also read, Say goodbye Microsoft Lync, hello to Skype for Business<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The new features also reveal that Microsoft is further embracing the need for business video collaboration, and that Microsoft is willing to recycle \u201cconsumer friendly\u201d user interfaces for business. Both of these elements speak to the focus of Microsoft\u2019s business UC strategy.<\/p>\n<p>But \u201cSkype for Business\u201d also means Microsoft is becoming a bigger competitive threat to incumbent IP telephony and UC suppliers as it improves features and further integrates a communications platform that serves over 300 million users. That\u2019s good news for UC users, but no doubt Skype for Business will raise the anxiety levels for other hosted and premise-based UC providers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft launched Skype Service for Businesses Following CEO Satya Nadela\u2019s, mobile first, mantra, Microsoft has launched Skype as a communication [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":454,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":[],"categories":[32,13],"tags":[36,37,39],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.8 -
