Now that Lync Online is available in the cloud, it delivers against a new set of Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) offerings. During his presentation, Barron will discuss the pros and cons of Microsoft Lync Online and how it compares to other UCaaS offerings in the marketplace.

“It is important for cloud solution providers to know what new products and services are available in today’s cloud marketplace in order to better assess customer’s needs,” said Barron. “This session will explore all that Microsoft Online has to offer, how it compares to other UCaaS offerings, and which solutions are best suited to increase a company’s productivity, allowing for a more efficient workplace.”
