Microsoft recently announced it will retire Skype for Business Online in two years (July 2021), to be replaced with Microsoft Teams. Current Skype users will experience no change in service in the two years leading up to retirement. But starting September 1, 2019, Microsoft will onboard any new Office 365 customers directly to Microsoft Teams for chat, meetings, and calling.
What should you do?
If you are currently using Skype, your complete transition to Teams may take some time, but you can begin the journey by enabling your users to use Teams alongside Skype. As the deadline approaches, you may want to start planning for upgrade scenarios that will allow your organization to embrace Teams as its central hub for communication.
