Skype for Business, formerly known as Microsoft Lync Server, is a unified communications UC platform that integrates common channels of business communication across the entire business. Skype for Business is already a disrupter to the industry of UC and is bringing businesses into the new world of collaboration with presence, voice, instant messaging (IM) and chat and indicative of a significant shift in focus and strategy of “connect people everywhere.”

However Skype for Business does not have the capabilities for advance multichannel routing or advance monitor and analysis capabilities which is where Enghouse can help by integrating customer contact solutions into its Skype for Business environment.

Whether, personally you are a Skype user, or you use Microsoft Skype for Business within your business environment. The benefit is the connected solution from anywhere.

Enghouse has already released an attendant console for the Skype for Business Online platform. In addition, the Enghouse contact centre products can be integrated with Skype for Business Online using a federated model. However, as Microsoft develop and release their native Skype Online APIs, Enghouse will rapidly adopt these across the relevant products in the portfolio.

This will be an evolutionary process as the Skype Online APIs develop.
