Interested in using Skype?

Do you ever wish you could send colleagues a quick instant message or easily arrange conference calls or virtual meetings? Do you use Skype at home and wish you had something similar at work?

If the answer to any of these is yes then IT have a solution. Over the last two years we’ve been introducing Skype for Business across the council. This is the workplace version of Skype and it’s a powerful tool allowing more flexible ways to communicate both internally and externally.

Whether it’s checking people’s availability, sending a quick instant message to one or more people, holding a video conference call or arranging and running a meeting where some or all of those attending can’t make it to the venue Skype for Business could be for you.  It’s a powerful but easy to use communications tool that provides instant messaging, voice and video calls, presence management and Skype meetings.

The good news is that if you have suitable hardware IT will cover the set-up costs.
