Skype for Business Problems

With deeper integration of Skype for Business, like Enterprise Voice, IT begins transitioning away from traditional PBX systems and the real problems arise from unpleased end users hounding the IT helpdesk. What appears as an easy-to-use platform now displays its weaknesses with system reporting.

End User Struggles

Its important for IT to have continuous Skype for Business on premise reporting to prevent the negative impacts it would have on employee productivity. Skype for Business is an investment by organizations, so user experience should be optimized to yield the best Return on Investment (ROI).

Skype for Business on premise reporting can sometimes be the less glamorous side of the cost equation. However, to correctly drive accountability and track ROI benefits, reporting is invaluable. While they do provide a set of standard Skype for Business reports that gives information on usage, call diagnostic information, and media quality information, these are based on the expansive data collected. They often lack the option to filter, highlighting the need for optimized Skype for Business reporting.

PowerSuite’s reporting solutions expose the right metrics, providing global visibility about the environment, and bench-marking within and across the enterprise so that IT can best allocate responsibilities, resources, and personnel.

On-Premises vs. Online

Skype for Business on-premises allows for IT to have more direct access to servers for easier monitoring and reporting. On the other hand, Skype for Business online is hosted by Microsoft Azure and so its much more difficult for IT and 3^rd part specialty providers to monitor service availability, call quality, and more. On-premise is much more complex and costly but easier access, whereas online is cloud-hosted and easier for organizations of any size. Learn More.
