Use OpenVoice?
Chris Biemans
Reliable, useful for remote work, and great but isn't as robust as Microsoft Teams
While I used the solution recently, I now have another job. I work for another firm and they use Microsoft Teams.

    Top Answer:I think Skype for Business is scalable. However, I believe Microsoft is discontinuing the Skype platform altogether, so I don't think it's super-relevant.

    What needs improvement with Skype for Business?
    Top Answer:Whenever someone is using a messaging platform, the messages needs to be stored. In Skype for Business, the message will not be seen later on if you're not online. It isn't useful, in my opinion.
