Social media and online communication continues to amaze us at every turn.
It seems like every day I wake up and check my phone, there is a new app or advertisement telling me that there is yet another way that I can communicate via the web.
I’m sure that we’re all familiar with the classic social media communications tools such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Spiceworks, Google+, Snapchat, etc…
Heck, I’m sure we can admit that we use at least one of these on a daily basis, and I’m also sure that we depend on at least one of these to communicate with just about everyone we know.
I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time I used classic technology, such as landline, to communicate with anyone.
In fact, most children today have at least a cell phone or a tablet, so I think we can say that the “old school” methods of communication are slowly but surely coming to an end. In the past two decades the world has seen more online communications tools come to life than at any other point in history; one of which is a software communication platform called Skype.
Now, I know, you’re going to say, “Skype has been around for a while now – it’s nothing new,” but let’s stop right there and really think about that.
Yes, the free version of Skype has existed since about 2003, however, around the beginning of this year, a new form of Skype emerged called “Skype for Business”.
So, naturally, questions like, “What is Skype for Business?” and, “What’s the difference between the two?” typically arise; and since I am one of those people who asked, I decided to find out.
Both Skype and Skype for Business are web based software platforms that specifically utilize VoIP communication methods in order to provide clear communicative power via the internet.
The differences between the two are solely these:

More information about the differences between Skype and Skype for Business can be found on Skype’s Website if you still have more questions, you can even reach out to Microsoft to find out more about Skype for Business’ capabilities.
In the meantime, stay tuned for more information about Skype for Business from VoIP Supply as we begin to unravel its mysteries. Coming soon we’ll discuss how current Microsoft Lync users can transition their current account over to a Skype for Business account.
