What will this mean for current users of Skype for Business? With Teams, we’re creating new experiences for meetings and calling, including the prep, delivery, and post–follow-ups.” We believe Teams also provides a modern cloud infrastructure that enables us to take advantage of our assets for artificial intelligence such as AI, Microsoft Graph, and LinkedIn to deliver intelligent communications.

I've been meeting with several of them and in my next piece I'll update the Microsoft Lync contact center story.Microsoft, a year ago, announced that they are bringing the capabilities of Skype for Business in the cloud into Microsoft Teams to deliver a single hub for teamwork, with built-in, fully integrated voice and video.Īccording to Microsoft, “As users are working on more teams, we see the opportunity to more seamlessly integrate our communication capabilities into Teams so users can have a single place for their conversations, contacts, and content. Most of the contact center vendors that work with Lync, e.g., Aspect, Clarity Connect, Genesys, Interactive Intelligence, prairieFyre and Zeacom are here in San Diego.

The keynote addresses by Tony Bates and Derek Burney (Corporate VP, Skype Division) delivered the high-level messages and demos that people wanted to see. That said, it is without a doubt the largest gathering of people interested in or dedicated to the success of Microsoft Lync. While 900 attendees sounds like a lot, only a third of those were actually users at this so-called user event. * A significant number of Microsoft people-described as 1 for every 5 attendees. * 45 MVPs (Microsoft Lync Server Most Valuable Professional)

The final tally, as described by the president of the Skype Division (former Cisco SVP) Tony Bates, was:

Planning for a total of 500 attendees, Microsoft instead found themselves cutting off registration at 900.

Microsoft had high, but not overly ambitious, hopes for attendance that were blown away.

To begin, this is the very first Lync user conference. It's the second day of the Lync Conference being held in San Diego at the famous Hotel del Coronado and enough has happened to pause and report on the content and mood of the event.
