anageEngine, the real-time IT
management company, has
announced the addition of Skype
for Business server reports to Exchange
Reporter Plus, its Exchange auditing,
monitoring and reporting solution.
Available immediately, these new reports
allow Exchange administrators to get
metrics on and analyse every aspect of
their Skype for Business environment. While
email is still the primary means of workplace
communication, many Windows-based
organisations depend on Skype for Business
for real-time collaboration through calls,
conferences and file transfers.
Despite giving employees a more efficient
way to communicate and collaborate with
each other, Skype for Business presents
some challenges for administrators.
When it comes to reporting, the Skype
for Business native control panel is
cumbersome and time-consuming to use;
PowerShell is a good alternative but only
for those proficient in scripting.

make admins’ lives even easier by expanding
