Overall Satisfaction with Skype
We use Skype in our organisation in a small scale meeting setting. We have a number of boarding students who use Skype for contact with family and support networks. We also use it when connecting with certain international schools to share ideas and collaborate as a class. Using Skype allows us to connect easily with others that have Skype accounts.

As a whole business, we did not go with Skype. But for selected use cases we did. These scenarios were based upon what technology the other parties had access to. They were comfortable using Skype so we adapted to using it. We have used it to connect classes on site and off site, meet up with schools overseas and connect boarding students and families.
