Summary


As seen in this chapter, Persistent Chat Server is a good foundation on which we can build knowledge bases, and is really interesting when it comes to keeping information in an organized and easy-to-use form. The next chapter is focused on the clients. Lync offers a great deal of ways to access its services, and we will see all the available versions and solutions in order to give a flexible and straightforward interface to our users.
