Summary


We have seen a short list of the clients available in Lync 2013. The extreme variety and flexibility that Lync delivers to the end user, paired with a really friendly and intuitive interface, is without doubt one of the strong aspects of Lync and often gives it an advantage over other UC solutions. Deploying the right client is a really fundamental part of a successful Lync implementation.
