Over 100 million people now use Microsoft Lync to communicate for work, with 79 percent of U.S. enterprises currently using or planning to deploy Lync for telephony. Skype revolutionized the way people connect with friends and family and it sees 50 billion minutes of traffic every month—one third of the world's long distance traffic—and over 50 percent of Skype users now come in over video.
Enabling people to connect with one another is central to Microsoft's mission to reinvent productivity and help people make the most of every moment. For us, connecting people means delivering experiences capable of conveying all forms of human expression—verbal, written, visual and emotional. In today's modern workplace, productivity will increasingly be centered on conversations, whether in writing, in person, via phone or video conference call. People need communications tools that allow them to express themselves in the most natural and approachable way possible, and that work the way they do—fluidly across locations and devices.
Microsoft is now combining the power of Skype and Lync to create Skype for Business. Watch their vision video above. The Skype for Business client, Skype for Business Server, and the new service in Office 365 will begin rolling out in April. The technical preview of the Skype for Business client is already available for download.
