What is Microsoft Lync 2013?

Lync was the original name of Microsoft 's communication program, which was included in Microsoft Office 2013, among others. In 2015, the name was changed to Skype for Business, which is why the features of Microsoft Lync 2013 are also present in Microsoft Skype for Business 2016 or Microsoft Skype for Business 2019. Skype for Business or Lync is a communication application that combines aspects such as video conferencing, chat messaging and IP telephony. The biggest benefit here is for medium to large businesses that want to expand and simplify their communication options. While Microsoft Lync 2013 is normally included with Microsoft Office 2013, the application can also be used separately on operating systems like Windows 10.

What features does Microsoft Lync 2013 come with?

Microsoft Lync 2013 includes all the basic features of a communications program in the form of a single, user-friendly program. Basically, all typical forms of communication such as chat messages, telephony and video conferencing are available. Furthermore, Microsoft Lync 2013 can be used together with many Microsoft Office 2013 programs and is compatible with Windows 10.

A dedicated short message service

Microsoft Lync 2013, just like Microsoft Skype for Business 2016 and Microsoft Skype for Business 2019, has its own secure short messaging service that users can use to send chat messages directly and instantly. Already here, there is the option to choose between individual chat and group conversation to maintain flexibility and ensure the possibility of team meetings. Of course, data can be shared with other users and also edited together.

Digital telephony

To completely replace the analog telephone in companies, Microsoft Lync 2013 already offers the option of digital telephony. Both one-on-one calls and conference calls can take place via secure connections, which are protected by Microsoft 's high security standards. Microsoft Office 2013 already ensures secure eavesdropping protection through constant encryption of telephone calls.

Video calls and conferences

The main focus of Microsoft Lync, as well as its successors Microsoft Skype for Business 2016 and Microsoft Skype for Business 2019, is on video calls. Here, too, one-on-one calls and group conferences can be carried out, where interaction with other applications that Microsoft Office 2013 brings with it is possible. If digital presentations are to be held in a group setting, for example, there is the option of using Microsoft PowerPoint in parallel. Furthermore, files and documents can be edited in the group frame. The application offers companies an opportunity to facilitate and accelerate their own communication. In this way, the workflow is maintained and the efficiency of the college can be increased.

Easy organization through individual layout

To make working with the communication tool even easier, Lync 2013 comes with a simple layout that can also be customized to suit the user. To ensure a possible division of certain departments, groups can be created, members added and removed again. As already mentioned, Microsoft attaches a lot of importance to the security aspect of its program, which is why corresponding precautions have of course already been taken for Lync 2013. The administrator is able to monitor the behavior of his users and intervene in it if necessary. This means that conspicuous or irregular usage that indicates unauthorized access to an account can be detected directly. In this way, the administrator can implement appropriate measures to protect the college and possible trade secrets. It is also possible to search for individual employees and groups - both for the administrator and for ordinary users.

Security measures

In addition to the options Microsoft gives the administrator, all chats, phone calls and video conferences within the program are encrypted. They can only be read by the communicating users, but not by outsiders. Windows 10 constantly offers scans running in the background, which directly detect possible malware and recommend measures for removal. Furthermore, in order to use the communication tool, the user has to be authenticated so that no unauthorized use takes place. In conclusion, tools such as Lync 2013, Microsoft Skype for Business 2016 or Microsoft Skype for Business 2019 help larger companies in particular to optimize communication within the collegium, improve the workflow and thus achieve better results. Improved communication often leads to more efficient workflows and therefore faster results.
