Skype for Business

In spring 2015, Microsoft Lync turned into Skype for Business. This new system includes all established Lync functions, but appears with an interface in the classical Skype design. Just as Microsoft Lync reformed room systems, Skype for Business upgrades existing unified communications environments. Since Microsoft Lync became the best-selling solution for unified communications (UC), Skype for Business continues on road to success.

Modern functions of Skype for Business:

  • presence function & instant messaging
  • telephony
  • data transmission
  • videoconferencing
  • integration of OneNote

 

We offer additional room systems for companies who want to equip their existing meeting rooms with Skype for Business.

 

Established manufacturers of AV technology and videoconferencing systems made it their mission to fulfil your special requests, and offer custom developed technical solutions. Particularly two manufacturers are leading the way of Lync room systems and now expand their support to Skype for Business:

  • Polycom, one of the market leaders in videoconferencing systems and videoconferencing infrastructure
  • SMART Technologies, one of the market leaders in interactive whiteboards and collaboration solutions

 

Polycom & Skype for Business

Polycom builds on a complement of videoconferencing. With the Polycom CX series, the supplier has already put several systems on the market which can be completely integrated. By means of a 360-degree videoconferencing camera which is placed in the conference room on the middle of the table, the CX5100 and CX5500 (also called Roundtable) offer a unique videoconferencing experience. The CX700 is a permanently installed videoconferencing system for meeting rooms.

 

SMART Technologies & Skype for Business

SMART Technologies designed an integration of interactive whiteboards into a Skye for Business environment. To ideally equip different meeting rooms, SMART Skype room systems are available in three different sizes: either including a single-70’’ LCD, a single-80’’ LCD or a dual-70’ LCD. Additionally, SMART room systems have a videoconferencing camera with a wide-angle lens to enable videoconferencing.
