In-Depth Skype Means Business Redmond's decades-long quest to become a force in universal communications begins its latest chapter with the integration of Lync and Skype. Now that Microsoft has started rolling out Skype for Business, the company is hoping IT decision makers will find a clear connection with its latest stab at becoming enterprises' primary universal communications provider. It's indeed a tall order, but the company appears poised to put significant resources into making Skype for Business a key pillar of its "platforms and productivity" mission. Skype for Business, which marries Lync 2013 and Skype, brings to enterprises the best features of both. Microsoft has long aspired to upend the traditional market for communications systems. Microsoft's work to develop universal communications technology dates back to the mid-1990s, but Skype for Business roots trace to the company's introduction of Live Communications Server in 2003. When Microsoft released Lync Server five years ago, the company argued it would up the ante on providing core universal communications experiences in a field dominated by Avaya Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. thanks to much broader acceptance of VoIP to replace legacy telephony systems, notably PBXes, and the willingness to run voice and data on the same networks. With the release of Lync Server 2013, Microsoft added Lync functionality to a major revision to its top-tier enterprise editions of Office 365. While Lync Server 2013 arguably became more competitive and has become more widely implemented than previous releases, it's yet to become the go-to communication for core corporate communications within many organizations. Having made Skype for Business available to Office 365 customers earlier in the year, the company in May released Skype for Business Server 2015 as an "in-place upgrade" to Lync Server 2013. Customers can control when and how they roll out the Skype UX in their individual organizations. The new Skype for Business Server 2015 includes support for the Microsoft SQL Server AlwaysOn feature, interoperability with Cisco Tandberg VTC videoconferencing systems, a new call-quality dashboard and the ability to connect with anyone in the Skype directory.
