Skype for Business Future ?
David Kamp yes, Teams is the upgrade to Skype for Business.
At the moment all organisations can choose if they want to upgrade to Teams Only. For smaller organisations <500 users Microsoft are notifying admins that they are to be upgraded, but allowing them an opt out.
Overtime they will push to bigger organisations, and perhaps become more insistent on people upgrading. Officially there is no deadline set, people move with consent as they want the new capability.
We may be Forced to go to a third party Chat program.
Teams is too big of a Security and Support issue for our limited staff.
Are others opposed to Teams?

David Kamp In what way is it a security risk ? It meets and exceeds the controls in Skype for Business.
I've not heard of anyone else considering anything else, it's a very positive upgrade to a far more modern platform.
We have an obligation to secure patient information and demographics. When Teams gives everyone the ability to share almost anything with anyone, the possibility of a user mistake could be very compromising.
