Connect with anyone

Meet with up to 250 people—even if they're not on Skype for Business. All they need is a phone or internet connection.

Powerful productivity with Office

See your contacts' online statuses, schedule meetings in Outlook, and start conversations from apps like Word and PowerPoint.

Security and control

Conversations are protected by strong authentication and encryption, and you manage employee accounts and features.
Managed Solution provides implementation of the industry’s most robust unified communication functionality solutions. This will give your organization better methods of communication that enable your staff to be efficient through productive working habits.
With Skype for Business (formerly Microsoft Lync), you can search for and connect with anyone in the Skype network–inside or outside your organization.
  • Find anyone in your company and schedule meetings in Outlook
  • Up to 250 people in meetings
  • Enterprise-grade security and management of employee accounts

Professional collaboration and meetings—all integrated with Office

You get everything you need for conversations in one app—IM, audio and video calls, online meetings and sharing. And because Skype for Business and Office work together, it’s simple to collaborate right from your Office apps. You’ll see the contact card of everyone working in the same app as you so you can quickly send them an IM or email, or start a call. You can also schedule meetings and see IM history in Outlook, and start meetings from apps like Word and PowerPoint to present whatever you’re working on.

Connect with anyone, anywhere, on your favorite device

Reach out to anyone in your company, or to the hundreds of millions of people on Skype, on your favorite device or web browser. Even if they’re not on Skype for Business, up to 250 people can join meetings—all they need is a landline phone or Internet connection.

Help keep info safe and manage accounts easily

All communications are protected by strong authentication and encryption. You control employee accounts, so you can add or remove subscriptions and assign features based on people’s collaboration needs. If you’re already on the Microsoft platform, the account info stored for each person in your organization will be immediately recognized across Skype for Business.

Reduce cost and complexity with one solution

Skype for Business will work with most communications technology, so you can still make and receive calls on PBX phones and join meetings with video teleconferencing systems. You’ll also reduce the cost of supporting multiple services by upgrading to one solution that includes everything—voice, video, and online meetings. And you can continue using the on-premises equipment you already have as you gradually move to the cloud.
