Greetings & welcome to the Skype for Business Community! We’re so glad you are here and excited to have this forum to collaborate and discuss all things Skype for Business.
I am a Program Manager here at Microsoft within the Skype for Business Engineering team and am the Skype for Business Community Manager. My job is to make sure our customers and partners have a place to get answers to their questions and share information related to Skype for Business. What’s truly exciting about our new community is the connection we are building between everyone who is so close (and those who aren’t yet but want to be) to the product. The community brings together customers, partners, MVPs, and our own Skype for Business product and engineering teams in a single location.
We’ve created some spaces where we’d like for you to ask questions, answer others’ questions, and participate in discussion. These spaces will be monitored on a regular basis by moderators across the Skype for Business organization. These moderators will give a little introduction of themselves within the spaces they’re experts in. You’ll also have access to blogs we’ll be posting and keep updated, regularly (that’s how you found me, here!) You’ll get Tips & Tricks on deploying and using SfB, hear what other customers are doing with the product through our ‘Customer Connection’ blog, be the first to know what’s new with the product by viewing product updates, and view regular broadcasts from our product team. We’re working on additional enhancements such as a calendar of events and posting additional resources for you. If there are things you want to see as part of the community, I want to know; comment below.

Don’t be a stranger,
Laurie
