Enriched with new features, Skype Enterprise was back in the news at the end of 2016 and beginning of 2017.
This system, which combines telephony and the Internet, reinforces its image as an operational, responsive and secure telephone service.
What are these new features that are so appealing to the corporate world?
Some answers to follow…
What is PSTN Calling?
If we’re invaded by Anglo-Saxon acronyms, it’s because some of the best media and multimedia technological inventions come from afar.
This is particularly true of the PSTN (Public Switched Telephon Network) calling function, one of Microsoft’s latest creations, which is proving very popular with companies that have already set up a cloud platform to centralize their various communication channels (including messaging, calls and videoconferencing).
A package for fixed and mobile telephony
If Skype Business has been in the news a lot lately, it’s also because the PSTN calling offer covers calls made and/or received from landlines as well as mobiles.
If everyone has set up their own installation, calls can be handled by Skype, regardless of the transmission or reception medium.
A wide range of services for professionals in Europe
Initially, the service was only available to companies in the USA and the UK, but today it is available to many countries in Europe and the rest of the world, including Switzerland, of course.
In the space of just a few months, the service has been deployed across all borders.
Promoting Office 365
Businesses will be able to take advantage of PSTN calling through Office 365, which itself draws all its strengths from Microsoft technologies.
With packages tailored to the needs, size and activity of subscribing companies, the offer is therefore largely affordable for all budgets.
When telecoms bet on the cloud
The trend today is towards the cloud, for everything to do with communications.
Some companies are even aiming for 100%, especially the biggest, strongest and most secure ones.
And this idea of 100% in the cloud is obviously a godsend for Microsoft and its Skype Enterprise.
The promises are indeed tempting, since the security of data and communications is optimized and strengthened, a luxury that some people can no longer do without today.
