Overall Satisfaction with Skype for Business

The company uses Skype for Business to keep in touch with branches that are located in other states, even in other countries, to hold meetings and make important work decisions as a team through a link and with just a click you can join the meeting, where you can meet more than 250 people, you can make presentations in power point and have a board where you can write all the members of the meeting, Skype for business is being used by the entire company since it has offices in all states from the country
  • Weekly meetings with all the managers of all the offices to make decisions in the organization
  • The video is clear, just like the sound is perfect
  • They can perform work in real time
  • Write all together on the board in which you can annotate, delete, edit
  • We can make many presentations in power point
  • And there is also instant messaging which is ideal while others talk
  • You must have a good internet connection so that the image looks good
  • If some of the members may have poor resolution in sound and videos which may cause the call to be cut and lose the thread of the meeting
  • Improvement in work performance
  • Reduce expenses in the organization
  • You can create and collaborate while working on applications that you use every day such as Excel, Word, and Outlook, which is very easy since everyone in the organization uses those tools.
  • You can work on large projects all together and remotely
Skype is used as it can keep approximately 250 people connected at a time which is good for large companies, you can make presentations, use whiteboards, shared screen, it is used from any device, it is very safe and stable
For large companies that have offices in all parts of the world, it adapts perfectly as it reduces expenses such as travel expenses and hotel payments to transfer managers to the main office. It is best to connect via Skype as it can also be used. make from any device such as cell phones, tablets and from your computer, from anywhere in the world, must have a good internet connection which is very important, those companies that do not have a good internet connection do not recommend it as they will have many interruptions
