Consolidating tools — Microsoft Teams replaces Skype for Business on Sept. 28

From instant messaging to virtual meetings to audio calling, Information Services helps ensure the technology on which your teams rely, such as Skype for Business, can help you get your job done.

To better leverage and centralize available communication and collaboration tools, Penn State Health and the College of Medicine will transition to Microsoft Teams on Monday, Sept. 28.

Teams leverages much of what Skype for Business offers and expands what’s possible, integrating chat or instant messaging,  online meetings, calling, file management and a project workspace all into one interface.  With this transition, Teams will become the communications and collaboration service for Penn State Health and the College of Medicine, and they will decommission Skype for Business.
