Farewell, Skype: what are the alternatives?

Microsoft has confirmed that Skype will be shutting down this May, marking the end of an era for one of the most widely used communication platforms in the corporate world.

If your business still relies on Skype to manage internal and external communications, now is the time to find a robust, modern and future-proof alternative.

WHY IS MICROSOFT SHUTTING DOWN SKYPE?

While Skype was revolutionary in its time, communication tools have evolved significantly in recent years.

Microsoft has chosen to focus its efforts on other platforms, leaving Skype behind and forcing thousands of businesses to rethink their communication solutions.

THE BEST SKYPE ALTERNATIVE FOR BUSINESSES

Skype’s demise doesn’t have to be a problem – provided you choose the right alternative. Enter Enreach Contact: a hosted PBX with collaboration features designed to centralise all your internal and external communications on a single platform.

Just like Skype, it offers the best features:

ONE-CLICK VIDEO CALLS

Each user has their own private meeting room and can invite both internal company contacts and external users via a direct link.

INTERNAL CHAT FOR TEAM COMMUNICATION

Create group chats and exchange messages with colleagues from any device – landline, mobile or computer.

DIAL A DIRECT EXTENSION

If you know a colleague’s direct number, you can call them instantly without wasting time searching through your contact list. All internal calls are completely free.

MARK CONTACTS AS FAVOURITES

If you have a large contact list, it’s a good idea to save key contacts as favourites for quick access.

SET CONDITIONAL AND UNCONDITIONAL CALL FORWARDING

Never miss an important call – set up call forwarding when you’re unavailable. You can enable voicemail or assign a backup contact.
