Your Move After Skype

Why MS Teams Isn’t the Right Move After Skype

While many look to Microsoft Teams, its limitations include:

  • Vendor lock-in: Being tied to a single ecosystem restricts flexibility.
  • Security gaps: Only select communications (1:1 calls) are fully encrypted.
  • Data sovereignty concerns: Cloud-based data hosted outside your control may conflict with regulatory requirements.
  • On-premises constraints: No robust on-premise option available.

Organizations risk exposure to security vulnerabilities, increased costs, and a competitive disadvantage if they delay migration.
