TCB (taking care of business) Skype-style

By My status Howard Wolinsky on April 9, 2008 in Business, Events, In the news.

Scott Davison has details in the Skype for Business blog on new features added to the Skype Business Control Panel.

The Business Control Panel is the easy way to purchase and manage Skype Credit and SkypeIn numbers within your company. And now it also makes it easier for you to help set up the rest of your co-workers on Skype.

Skype added these features to the Business Control Panel:

* Easily invite co-workers (using a company email list).
*Create a members directory so employees know who else belongs to the same company.
* View itemized call reports for your members.
* Purchase up to about $1,600 of Skype Credit at once.
* Automatically top-up your Control Panel credit balance

Previously you could only invite people to join your Control Panel if they already had a Skype Name. Now all you need is their email address and Skype can do the rest from there.

If you have a company email list with all your employees email addresses, you can copy and paste this directly in to the Control Panel and it will send out emails inviting people to join Skype and guiding them through the process.

You can also include a recommended Skype Name in the invitations. For instance, some companies like to use a consistent name format for all employees.

Check out Scott's blog for more details on TCB Skype-style.
