Why do I need upgrade guidance? Can’t I just delete/decommission Skype for Business?

W

Microsoft has now declared Teams as the new norm of telephony. After Skype for Business has retired, organizations are advised to migrate to Teams via a Migration process and plan. A Migration plan lets you organize your contacts and notify them earlier about how they would be migrated to teams. In addition to this, with a proper plan, you can upgrade in batches, and thus, all of the employees aren’t affected all at once. Simply deleting Skype for Business server will only remove all the contacts and meeting data from your skype and you wouldn’t be able to shift all of it in Teams.

W

After the COVID-19 outbreak, all major companies around the world had to enforce a work from home policy. The much hype created on the concept of work from home is now taking to a next level after German Labor and Social Affairs Minister announces that the country plans to present a bill on legalizing working from home as a basic workers’ right, encouraging remote workers throughout the country.

Work from home has been proven to be more productive

The proposal hasn’t come out of the blue.  The concept of Work from home has been popular form quite a while. With entrepreneurs having an option to hire remote working employees, there is a high chance of finding the best fit for a vacancy which wasn’t really possible with geographical restrictions at all times. Besides, it is a good way to cut costs on commuting to work, thereby, saving the worker time and bucks!

Technological advancements fuel speculations on telecommuting becoming a norm

Workplace has now been taken to a next level. Technology has encouraged workers and entrepreneurs to ditch brick and mortar and adopt a virtual workplace that is a workplace of the future in a cost—effective manner.  Many collaborative tools and digital communication services have emerged as essential tools to run any type of business, online or otherwise. Services from Microsoft have been very effective in this domain with products like Teams, Yammer, SharePoint and collaboration between these via Microsoft 365 and much more. It wouldn’t be wrong to state that if such a bill on workers’ right to work from home is passed, technology would prove this decision to be a better one for the benefit of work force and the overall economy.
