Skype to Become Full Featured Lync Meeting Client

Posted on 5:38 AM by Unknown

Michael Przytula, Managing Director Global UC Services at Dell, reports out of World Wide Partner Conference 2013 that “Skype to become a full featured client for Lync meetings”. At this time no timeline has been communicated.

This is not a entirely surprising move considering that Skype has become a multi-protocol client that already connects into Facebook and what used to be the Live Messenger network along with Skype already. (below is a slide from my presentation on Skype evolution)

While this may not be surprising from a technical standpoint, it certainly is an interesting merging of Enterprise and Consumer needs in one client.
