Discontinuation of support for Session Border Controllers in Exchange Online Unified Messaging
While this affects "only a small number of customers", those customers tend to be really, REALLY, big. We're talking some Fortune 100 companies here. Transitioning completely to SfB or SfBO in a year's time is no trivial task.
TE-SYSTEMS anynode is a SIP-to-SIP software SBC solution. Great if your PBX already does SIP, but a number of large customers have analog PBXs. Traditional SBCs can convert analog PSTN calls to SIP using a Voice Gateway feature, and then trunk it over to Skype for Business or SfBO.
Whatever direction you go, you will need to decide SOON, and start planning and executing immediately.

Thanks Jeff,
That's what I had understood too. However would that still require the Skype account being ev enabled and then being able to have the call at the PBX being forked to both the deskphone and the skype account? I've never seen an SBC that can just take the voicemail sip invite message and send it through to Exchange Online. It's definately not the same as just sending a SIP invite to a pilot number, that's for sure :-)
