Skype for Business has also been carefully designed by Microsoft to be more powerful than just a video conferencing tool.

SatyaNadella believes that the new features in Windows 10 and Office 365 will create a modern way to conduct business for knowledgeable workers. According to Microsoft, the modern workforce will be dominated with collaboration and teamwork as ways to solve problems and make decisions. Bottom line, Microsoft has done a good job in presenting their modern workforce vision, and providing the tools that will only make that vision possible.
