Swyx telephony functions are now available for Skype for Business, meaning that all SwyxWare users who rely on Skype for Business (formerly Microsoft Lync) or Office 365 for messaging and collaboration can now take advantage of Swyx's enterprise telephony functions using Swyx Connector for Skype.
As an important part of the Swyx Client product family, the Swyx Connector for Skype offers access to a range of voice telephony features via Swyx and/or SIP phones using a common UC interface.
In addition, Skype licenses for basic and professional users can be replaced in favour of Swyx's more competitive pricing model.
The direct dialling out of Skype for Business, the synchronisation of presence information with SwyxWare and the access to the Skype Directory, are some of the key features included in the new client.
Also available in the Connector for Skype is choice of hot-keys, call handling (select, call transfer, hold, routing / forwarding, CLIR, call-waiting setting) and retrieval of voice mail.
"With the Swyx Connector for Skype, we have created the framework for a consistent user experience of Skype and Swyx applications for ongoing improvement of business processes, said Kai Froese, Director of Product Management at Swyx.
"The easy installation with Swyx for collaboration and telephony and also the support for additional functions such as fax or DECT, especially for the German market, all make the Swyx Connector for Skype attractive in an enterprise environment."
In addition to the Swyx Connector for Skype for Business, the latest SwyxWare release also contains other new enhancements including support for Windows 10 and support for additional third-party applications.
