However, the fine print also indicated that not all of those products will be at the "general availability" product release stage with regard to all of the Skype for Business capabilities. Microsoft's announcement today implied a broad product rollout of Skype for business products in April. A spokesperson for Microsoft explained that Skype for Business users will be able to "invite anyone, including Skype consumer client users, to join a Skype for Business meeting using a browser." The new Skype for Business product line coming in April promises interconnectivity between these business and consumer Skype solutions. Microsoft also owns the consumer Skype service network, enabling voice, video and IM communications over the Internet, which was purchased back in 2011.
Microsoft announced the name change back in November. Skype for Business is the new name applied to Microsoft's Lync unified communications product line, supporting presence, instant messaging, videoconferencing and voice-over-IP (VoIP) capabilities. The three products set for possible release include Skype for Business Server, Skype for Business client and a Skype for Business service that will be offered via Office 365 subscriptions. Microsoft disclosed its Skype for Business roadmap plans today, with three new products expected to start arriving next month.
