Skype for Business Online - End of Life - July 31, 2021
Today Microsoft announced that Skype for Business Online will be retiring on July 31, 2021. Though we didn’t know the exact date until today, we have been preparing for this for the past year and are ready to support you however we can as we work together to help you make this transition. We knew this was coming, we have been preparing for this for the past year, now we know the official date. We hope this does not come as a shock to you as MS Teams has taken center stage for Intelligent Communication and Modern Collaboration and Microsoft as an organization is not going to support Skype for Business (SfB) online in the long term. All of our investments and feature enhancements have been in Teams and Teams will continue to receive these investments for the future.
Phased functional Teams deployment or full deployment?
Is there anyone having experience with a phased deployment of MS Teams (for example if you decide to roll-out Teams with only Chat enabled as a reason for Skype replacement) ? To me it feels like buying a Ferrari without using the gearbox. I would like to know your honest opinion about doing this.Live Webinar: Make Meetings Matter with Skype for Business
