Last November, when Lync morphed into the robust conferencing and collaboration solution Skype for Business, we wrote a brief introduction to S4B and offered up a few tips and tricks for getting the most out of the all-in-one virtual meeting space. But we neglected to mention something incredibly important. Because, well, it didn’t exist yet. But it does now: with Polycom RealConnect for Skype for Business, your existing video environments can be seamlessly integrated with Skype for Business to create a video solution accessible to everyone.
What does that mean for you? Pretty much everything. Okay, not everything. Polycom RealConnect for Skype for Business won’t make you lunch or clean the office. And it probably won’t tell you how good that tie looks. But it’s pretty impressive.
With the Polycom RealConnect solution, Skype for Business users can now connect with users of other video solutions, regardless of what device they’re using, and everyone participating in the conference will be using a single workflow that is familiar to all involved. No more jumping through hoops and learning convoluted new protocols. You’re already there and so is everyone else.
So that’s what it means for you. But what will Polycom RealConnect for Skype for Business actually DO for you?
It can help you engage with customers who don’t have the time, energy or patience to clear the hurdles that usually exist between platforms. That’s a pretty big thing, yeah? It’ll do wonders within your organization as well. Whether you’re recruiting or doing remote work, Polycom RealConnect for Skype for Business makes it much easier to do business and share content without interrupting workflow, because it leverages Microsoft Outlook calendars to bring everyone together with one click.
