Skype for
Business is the latest release of Microsoft's popular enterprise software. It was formerly known as Microsoft Lync. Skype for Business offers the familiarity of
the Skype that we all know but combined
with the enterprise-grade security and IT capability.
Has your office
deployed or plan to deploy Skype for Business?
Know that all major call centre & office telephone headset vendors
offer a separate Microsoft Lync and Skype for Business USB corded and
wireless headset solutions. These
special line of headsets will already have the call management controls
compatible with your Skype for Business so there's no more need to download
additional software. The call management
controls include answering and ending calls, adjusting sound volumes and mute
function.
Deploying
telephone headsets that are Microsoft Lync optimized and Skype for Business
certified present additional advantages.
Besides the integrated call management control compatibility, Skype for
Business VOIP calls utilize advanced audio codecs resulting in wideband audio,
also known as HD Voice. They sound
deeper, richer and more natural sounding compared to traditional narrowband
audio. Moreover, they are offered in USB
corded and wireless headset models with various multi-connectivity options to
suit a number of office environments and worker styles.
