Key Differentiators
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Third-party Reviews

Product Features: Skype for business is a complete product for the problems it solves: chat, call, video call, participate or organize conferences with multiple interlocutors, plan meetings, transfer files, grant computer control.

Product Usability: Once framed, the operation of Skype for business is very simple to use in most of its functions. Only a few of them require more attention in use.

Third-party Reviews: The company I work for is part of a group. The group's lead company had chosen Lync for its staff and described it positively. In addition, the reviews that can be found on the internet are also mostly positive.

It's Skype we all know, but just for business nothing personal.

  • Existing Relationship with the Vendor
While talking to ITS about our whole office package, i was told that there is nothing similar and that good as Microsoft office 365 Enterprise package for all the employees inside of our organization.

So the singe most important factor in my company's decision would be that offer that Microsoft has alongside with all the other great office products. It is just Win WIn.
