The Office 365 element is arguably the most compelling aspect of Lync 2013. Lync is not part of the standard Office 365 Home Premium service, but for $150 per user per year the Office 365 Small Business Premium offering includes Lync, as well as Exchange and SharePoint hosted and supported by Microsoft so you don’t have to invest in or manage the backend server infrastructure yourself.
Small and medium businesses-or even larger businesses for that matter-can take advantage of Lync 2013 as a function of the new Office 365 offering. Microsoft is wise to provide tools that make sure customers continue to rely on Microsoft software no matter what platform they choose. Microsoft would obviously prefer that everyone choose Windows Phone, but the reality is that Windows Phone has relatively little market share, while the vast majority of smartphones and tablets use iOS or Android. The cross-platform approach is a trend with Microsoft, and it’s an important one. The Lync Mobile apps allow users to instant message, call, or join a Lync Meeting from virtually anywhere. Microsoft has developed Lync Mobile apps for Windows Phone, iOS, and Android, so Lync communications are available almost universally.
Lync 2013 uses the standard video codecs like H.264 SVC to provide compatibility across a broader range of platforms and devices, and provide greater flexibility in terms of how video is delivered.
