Press
Release Body = Skype have announced it is making
it even easier for businesses to get started on Skype
with its new Small Business Pack. The Small
Business Pack gives businesses everything they need to
get started to make calls over the internet.
The
Pack includes a Skype for Business (http://www.skype.com/intl/en/business/)
download, 10 five month subscriptions to Skype Pro
(http://www.skype.com/intl/en/products/skypepro/)
(Skype’s new internet communications package)
worth €100 and €50 of Skype credit for making calls to
landlines and mobiles across the world.
Skype’s
popularity with businesses comes from more and more businesses turning
to Skype to keep in touch with their customers for less money. A
recent survey of 250 businesses showed that 95% of those questioned
confirmed they save money with Skype and 80% said that using Skype
has increased employee productivity.
Enrico
Noseda, director, telecom business development at Skype said,
"Skype has over 196 million registered users today and
in some countries more than 30% of those are business users. We
want to give our business users a simple and more productive way
to communicate but pay less for the privilege. With Skype
Pro included, people can make *0/min unlimited calls to
domestic landlines along with a series of premium Skype
features and discounts on Skype-certified hardware."
Skype
has also made it easier for businesses to install and manage
Skype. Skype can be easily installed on
multiple computers using the Windows Installer package (commonly
known as MSI) giving IT Administrators greater control over how
Skype communications traffic runs across their networks.
An
online control panel enables companies to allocate individual users
with Skype credits that can be used to make cheap
Skype calls to traditional landline phones or mobiles
and provides a consolidated view of what is being spent.
