Microsoft’s Skype for Business (Microsoft Lync) is the Unified Communications platform of choice for many businesses around the world. Used by many for ad-hoc conferencing, instant messaging and desktop collaboration, a Skype for Business/Microsoft Lync platform takes design, planning & integration to successfully deploy into a network, and requires solutions, endpoints & accessories designed & optimised for the platform to work effectively & efficiently.

Video Conferencing Solutions for Skype for Business
As a stand-alone solution, Microsoft Skype for Business provides Video Conferencing from one S4B client to another, either internally within an organisation, or to a “federated” S4B/Lync organisation.
VideoCentric deliver the following solutions to enhance Skype for Business solutions for the meeting room and boardroom:
- Skype for Business Room Systems
All-in-one video conferencing systems, designed specifically for Skype for Business e.g.Crestron Skype for Business Room System - “Build Your Own” Skype for Business Room System
A portfolio of services, products and AV solutions that can be combined to create a tailor made Skype for Business Room System - Microsoft Optimised Endpoints & Devices
Video Conferencing & Audio Conferencing solutions that seamlessly integrate with Microsoft Lync e.g. Polycom CX Series
However, as Microsoft’s Skype for Business does not follow standards, and so does not directly communicate with other Video Conferencing, Audio Conferencing or Data Collaboration services deployed around the world, organisations wanting to communicate with other businesses and those outside of the Microsoft world will need to implement a solution to join these different standards together.
VideoCentric have a number of solutions to provide the “glue-in-the-middle” to connect any device, service or network together, including:
- Public Cloud Virtual Meeting Rooms
Meet in the middle in a interoperable Virtual Meeting Rooms. Everyone dials in from their own chosen device, software or application and can share video, audio, messaging and presentations straight from their desktop e.g. VideoCloud 365 - Cloud or on-premise Skype for Business gateways
Implement a Skype for Business gateway on your network, or subscribe to a cloud gateway, providing point-to-point calling to and from any Skype for Business client or Room System e.g. Pexip Infinity
