Skype for Business - Deployment and Support


Every Kind of Conversation in One Solution. Built by Microsoft, Supported by PlanetMagpie.

Connect your teams in the Office applications they use every day. With Skype for Business, you give them one simple platform for every communications tool they need—calling, online meetings/webinars, video conferencing, and chat.

Host your own conferences, instead of paying for a third-party service.  Make calls from your work number, no matter where you are.

Unlimited calls (even to overseas offices), including calls to consumer Skype users.  Built-in encryption, for protecting all users’ communications.  Meeting participants only need a phone or Internet connection to join conference.
