Skype moving to the cloud - what about S4B?

Steel Contributor

In a new article, the Skype team is talking about it´s transition "from peer-to-peer to a modern, mobile friendly cloud architecture" and thus being able to launch or improve features, like file sharing, video messaging, Skype translator, Skype Bots etc.

 

I wonder how this effects Skype for Business. Has S4B been moved to the cloud in parallell with the consumer version - taking advantage of the same features? Or does S4B have a different roadmap?

Hi there, I can't speak for Microsoft or the product teams, and don't have any insider information, but Skype Consumer and SfB Online have always been separate, so I wouldn't anticipate the move of the Skype Consumer backend impacting features of SfB Online.
