Official Statement on Skype for Enterprises

I was just informed by Chaim Haas (www.kaplowpr.com) on Skype's official statement on this matter and it is as follows:

 

'Skype has proven to be very popular with businesses – especially with small to medium-sized companies. In December 2006, we announced a series of new enterprise-friendly features in Skype 3.0 designed to give IT managers more control over using Skype, while also helping businesses make very cheap or free calls to millions of people all over the world.

 

We want to work with businesses of all sizes to help us develop Skype and make it even easier to use – especially if it helps companies save money and be more productive. Skype is constantly evolving and innovating to meet the needs of its various users and we do anticipate future versions of Skype will continue to increase our support of the business community. 

 

As with any product that we release, we've always depended upon user feedback to develop our product so that we introduce features and functionality that delight our users.

 

At this time, we are at the very beginning of testing an enterprise offering and Skype is inviting a limited number of businesses to be part of an Early Adopter program. We look forward to hearing from business users at the early stages so we make sure that we can create a really great product that people love using.'

 

My take : looking forward the improvements, maybe I'll even get to see what they are talking about. After all in corporate environments proof of concept comes first.
