Microsoft acquired technology assets underlying the UC Commander product suite from Event Zero, a leading provider of management software for Skype for Business Online. This acquisition will expand and improve the built-in management tools for Skype for Business, and is the latest example of Microsoft’s commitment to deliver a complete, enterprise-grade communications solution at global scale with Office 365. Event Zero will continue to service its customers and partners.
Customers of the calling and conferencing services can use the Office 365 administration center to acquire and assign phone numbers to their users in minutes, and view reports of audio and video conferencing usage, and quickly access aggregated call quality information using a Call Quality Dashboard.
In the future, the newly acquired technology will add strong diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities with even more extensive reporting and analytics for online audio, video conferencing and media streams — all within a unified management and admin system.
Partners will be able to more easily connect on-premises deployments they manage with Office 365 services, including hybrid deployments, provisioning of phones and other endpoints.
