Comments on: Is Skype for Business Ready for Prime Time? http://voxilla.com/2006/11/20/skype-for-biz-90 VoIP and mobile communications news and information Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:00:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: J.Eversonhttp://voxilla.com/2006/11/20/skype-for-biz-90/comment-page-1#comment-108 J.Everson Mon, 06 Aug 2007 14:06:55 +0000 /?p=90#comment-108 "Critics point to security and call quality as two areas of concern. Further, some question the long-term viability of Skype’s architecture, which is based on a closed, proprietary protocol rather than an open standard."There is a relatively new software made in Italy called Skip2PBX which addresses these two particular issues very well. Built on a LINUX core and running independently from the desktop systems in the office itself, it was designed with security foremost in mind (or at least declare their developers). Regarding call quality, I have recently read that this product has made vast steps forward with their efforts to raise the sound quality to a level that merits consideration in a serious business format (http://www.skype4business.com/skype-for-business-software/skype-and-skip2pbx-for-call-centers.html) and also noticing that later on in your article above, you state the need to record calls for business, I couldn't help but remember that this Skip2PBX also records calls in mp3s. I think Skype for Business in Prime Time is not as far away as this article above seems to imply. “Critics point to security and call quality as two areas of concern.

This is a Skype Certifed PBX Voice Gateway for Skype... (a Skype trunking solution). Ultimatly the viability of Skype in the business will be determined on how easilly it can be integrated into the existing PBX, KTS, or IPBX system in place. Check out my blog http://skype4biz.blogspot.com, I've pulled together lots of info on this topic. Very well written article, although I’m challenged that nowhere do you mention the VoSKY Exchange.

The concept of being able to make international partners for suppliers as well as services using Skype is one big plus.With the new 3.0 Skype Beta for Windows there are new Extras, including mine <a href="http://testing.onlytherightanswers.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=55" rel="nofollow">Click Here for Info</a> that really can help small business create new international partners, which I think most of us small business owners tend neglect.
