How it works

Organizations can purchase Skype For Business as a standalone service from Microsoft Office 365 or as part of an Office 365 for enterprises suite that includes Skype For Business, Microsoft Exchange Online, Microsoft SharePoint Online, Microsoft Office Professional Plus, and Microsoft Office Web Apps.

Organizations that subscribe to Skype For Business retain control over the collaboration services they offer to users, but they do not have the operational burden of on-premises server software. With the Skype For Business multi-tenant hosted plans, Skype is hosted on multi-tenant servers that support multiple customers simultaneously. These servers are housed in Microsoft data centers and are accessible to users on a wide range of devices from inside a corporate network or over the Internet.
