Companies all over the world use Skype for business. Voice over internet Protocol (VOIP) brings considerable savings in communication costs.
Aside from communicating through voice and chat, employees have found additional features such as a Skype video call recorder very useful especially in documenting important conversations. All you need is a stable internet connection with sufficient bandwidth with at least 400kbps (for video calls), audio devices and a computer that is fast enough to run Skype.
