Intro and Scenario<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

As many of you know, one of the annoying things about co-existence of Skype for Business (S4B) \/ Lync and other enterprise voice solutions is the lack of a unified management of presence.<\/p>\n

This is something typical in side-by-side deployments for migration or where enterprise voice stays on legacy solutions while S4B is chosen as UC platform.<\/p>\n

If you are having a conversation using your deskphone, you are still\u00a0 available on S4B. If you are participating to a S4B meeting and someone calls your telephone number, there is no busy tone.<\/p>\n

In a unified communication scenario, an unreliable indication for presence is something that creates mistakes and irritates users.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n
