Instant messaging to the people in your company
Lync is in it’s basic form, and instant messenger. It allows you to communicate with your co-workers, whether they are on-site or off-site. Lync doesn’t care where you are, it just need to know what company you belong too. It is tied to office 365 and as long as you have an account, you have access mobile apps and web apps that let you communicate even if you are not in front of your computer. It’s also mac and windows compatible. Just have to have an office 365 account.
Lync is also full of other useful tools
Lync allows you to share files, share screen, share programs and even make phone calls. Because of the integration with outlook, Lync also know when you are at a meeting and automatically sets your status. You no longer have to check your co-workers calendar to see if they are busy or not. Lync also integrate with your phone and can forward Lync phone calls to your cell.
