It addresses being able to share screen(s) when not close by, plus troubleshooting errors that would typically be resolved when in person. It is especially helpful to "show" clients your monitor(s) without having to travel or use expensive software. It is included in our Office 365 license.,Ease of use -- if you can send a text message or email in Outlook, you can manage Skype for Business. Relatively uncomplicated.
Interconnectivity with Outlook (allows user to send Skype meeting request in an email -- embedded).
Given its cost (free with an E3 license of Office 365), it is a good value. If your business already has the aforementioned license of Office 365, I'd recommend using this software versus paying for another service -- for simple messaging.
Mobile application for iPhone and Android -- allows you to send messages remotely via a connected device.,Ease of joining calls with audio/phone -- the ability to join a meeting with a call-in number is exceptionally tough. Typically we have to resort to calling the individual directly versus having it hosted on Skype.
Implementation with non-users -- if a client does not have Skype for Business, it can be difficult to arrange a meeting with screen sharing, etc.
Apart from the basic messaging feature -- the voice, video, and screen sharing functions are often flaky. Low dependability and ease-of-use (for advanced features). Ad hoc meeting generation is also daunting for an infrequent user.,6,Typically we have to use another provider for virtual meetings (wherein the user does not have the pre-configured software) -- Skype for Business is fine for instant messaging or inter-office communication.
ROI is negligible given the software is included in a Microsoft Office 365 E3 license -- I would not pay for the software otherwise.
Organizing meetings/explaining functionality to outside parties, etc. is often time consuming and redundant -- just the ability to start a meeting ad hoc with no issues is relatively non-existent.

Skype allows for quicker and better communication between both suppliers and customers.
Skype also allows for easy collaboration to construct documents in real time.,Cisco WebEx Room Series (formerly Cisco Spark Room Series),Skype, Join.me, ZoomVerified UserRemote communication tool that strengthens the flow of information of an organization.2018-07-13T17:43:21.249ZSkype for Business, is being used by the general operations management to strengthen communications with its workers and other professionals involved in the production chain. One of the most common problems has been to achieve an assertive communication with each of the people involved in the production process, considering that it is very complex to achieve communication immediately. With the application of the SKYPE for Business program, communication with staff has been continuously improved, significantly reducing work execution times and, consequently, we are more efficient. In the same way, logistical expenses have been significantly reduced because, thanks to the Skype tools, we no longer need to mobilize to other spaces for the organization of work meetings.,It offers work tools that manage to maintain a stable connection and quality in each individual and group call.
Allows sharing the computer screen for excellent communication.
It is a tool that adapts to the current business dynamics that requires it to be efficient in communication through rapid and assertive communication with clients or interested parties.
Video calls for the organization of work meetings have become a common experience in smart organizations because they understand that in order to adapt to a constantly changing world they must use more effective work tools.
You can make individual and group video calls, send images, emoticons, text messages, voice messages, share files, share the screen in two or group with other communication tools.,It requires an excellent connection to the Internet because not all the territory of my country has an adequate Internet connection for the efficient operation of Skype. Being a limitation for the communication by video call with the personnel that is in communities of difficult access.
They must improve the coincidence of the audio of the call with the video view, considering that they do not coincide in time, a situation that affects the work.
They should improve the process to make a call because it is confusing.,8,The use of Skype has been a tool that has contributed to improve the indices of profitability of the company, considering that it significantly reduced the expenses in logistics and organization of events.
The organization has significantly reduced the time of completion of tasks, action that has improved the utility indexes.

We mostly use it for a quick conversation, quick questions, and answers.
The whole Idea being connected with everyone from your organization that numbers 10.000+ users is perfect. Team collaboration has never been easier. No matter where you are stationed you can jump into a Quick conversation, meeting or video call to elaborate on hot topics.
My team which has around 350+ people use it daily. I, for instance, have 20 separate Chats/Conversations. Some of them are really big chats where we have more than 50+, and some of them are just private e.g. Leadership chat.
In those big chats, we have employees asking questions about work, and someone is always available to provide them with an adequate answer, which boosts our team productivity enormously.,Status: Integration with Outlook and Outlook calendar makes it easy for you if you accept a meeting invitation. Skype will read your calendar data and change your status to "In a Meeting" where you won't get disturbed by side chats or notifications.
Remote connection: another great tool if you need to connect with someone and show them how something is done. For example, you need to install your company printer on their machine, it is easier to take control than to explain chatting.
Video and Audio calls: Skype always had high-quality calls, nothing has changed in that department, you can always call a colleague and have a talk about something that must be explained quickly.
Ability to add Skype contacts outside of your organization. It makes Skype for Business also your personal Skype, but you shouldn't share your organization email easily with everyone.,Having multiple Chats/Conversations open, make Skype unresponsive from time to time. Sometimes it has tendencies of crashing even on high-end machines.
Grouping chats - Works well, however, there is no option to group appointed meeting conversation with other regular conversations/chats that were not initiated by calendar event.
Should be able to have some themes to choose from. Microsoft is going for a dark theme in Windows insider program. Personal Skype already has it why wouldn't Skype for business have it? It is pleasant to the eye, at least in my opinion and for my eyes.,9,I cannot imagine working my day job without Skype for business. When it goes down, we are cut from the communication with the rest of the organization, making it hard to do almost anything.
If you depend on collaboration with your colleges, Skype will impact that field of your job in the best possible way.,Slack,Trello, Slack, MS SharePoint,No,Existing Relationship with the Vendor,There is not anything that i would change about my company's decision on having Skype for Business as our main communication tool.
