Skype Manager is Web Based Tool For Businesses
On May 19, 2010 Skype announced the 'Skype Manager' a web based management tool that lets businesses harness the power of Skype and enable intra-office communications. The Skype Manager enables greater communications flexibility, cost savings and control over the use of Skype. The new Skype manager replaces the Skype For Business control panel which was originally developed for small and mid-sized companies to manage intra-office communication.
Skype Manager  incorporates a centralized payment system and real-time analysis and reporting capabilities. It also gives companies the ability to manage Skype user accounts across an organization and assign Skype features through an administration dashboard. âWe want to empower businesses to exploit the full power and value of Skype so they receive all the benefits of enhanced collaboration and cost savingsâ said David Gurle, VP and General Manager of Skype for Business.
