Skype for Business Server is the one you install on-premises on your own servers or consume as a service from a private cloud service provider. There are two editions of Skype for Business. The instant messaging client has three main pillars of use: messaging, meetings and voice.
Skype for Business (and Lync) has a very loyal fanbase of users and IT professionals globally. Teams launched into public preview on 2nd November 2016, then four-and-a-half months later, the platform became generally available on the 14th March 2017. After all, we’re comparing a product that has been around in various forms for more than eighteen years (Skype for Business (SfB0) is the latest iteration of what started as a messaging tool built into Exchange 2000) to one that’s not even been here for two yet.
I know this is going to elicit some debate among readers, and that’s okay. Why the debate for Skype for Business vs Teams?
