About Skype for Business

Skype for Business is an excellent solution if you want to bring communication and collaboration to a new level. It gives you everything you need: instant messaging, audio and video calls, online meetings and sharing – all in one app that works with Office.

You can access it anywhere, from your favorite device or web browser. All you need is an Internet connection.

High-level security protects your conversations with strong authentication and encryption. Also, you control employee use by adding and removing subscriptions and assigning features according to their collaboration needs.

According to the latest information, Windows 10 as a Service will bring updates via three different branches: CB – Current Branch, CBB – Current Branch for Business, and LTSB – Long Term Servicing Branch.

Windows 10 Enterprise users will be able to choose between CBB and LTSB. This option will give business customers a choice that will improve the update experience based on their requirements.

CBB or LTSB?

If you want to be up-to-date, you should choose the CBB branch, which will automatically download new features on PCs that are connected to Windows Update, as well as security patches.

LTSB is an option only for Windows 10 Enterprise users, and it will delay new features delivery for up to 10 years – users will be able to skip updates.  Computers on the LTSB will receive only security patches and critical hotfixes.

In addition, Windows 10 Enterprise users on the LTSB branch will not get the Edge on their PCs – the new default internet browser. The main reason is that new features and feature updates for Edge will come out on a regular basis.

Windows 10 upgrade

Windows 7 SP1 and Windows 8.1 users are eligible for free upgrade to Windows 10 for one year, starting on July 29, 2015.

The hardware requirements for Windows 10 are the same as for Windows 7.

Don’t hesitate and contact us for additional information about the upgrade.
