Hosted Lync is Done
-
Just in from Microsoft:
*Beginning April 14, Microsoft Lync Online will become Skype for Business—combining the natural, collaborative way Skype enables people to speak face-to-face with the security and control of Lync. *

How 'funny' it is that LYNC just updated on my iPad this past week... Bug fixes and improvements... -
So they are ditching lync. I assume this means on site lync will be discounted at some point too.
-
We have been hearing about this for almost a year. So happy it is finally happening!
-
Unless they make Skype a more controllable application as well as make it have a small window view like Lync I don't think it would ever replace lync in most businesses.

I know many businesses that already moved because Lync for Office365 was so bad.

Really? I've never had much problems with it on premises. That is aside from cost.

On premise is different than the 365 as far as stability.

I've not seen a business that could get it stable yet. We used it at places like the investment bank with hundreds of thousands of uses and it was completely garbage.

Yeah, it's actually worse from what I've seen!

I haven't had any issues with it. It takes a lot of fine tuning though. Rackspace's Hosted lync is supposedly pretty good though I've never used it.

On-premise is totally different than hosted for sure.
