Skype for Business Server TAP is now recruiting new customers

[Guest Rick Varvel]

 

The Skype for Business Server team is looking for new members to join our Technology Adoption Program (TAP). TAP is an established program designed to validate updates to Skype for Business Server by asking customers to test them in their own lab or production environments.

 

 

 

Program participants have the opportunity to assess and validate upcoming features and enhancements before they are generally available, and provide feedback directly to the Skype for Business product development team.

 

 

 

New feature announcements will be communicated to participants through email and a Teams channel dedicated to Skype for Business 2015/2019 discussion.

 

 

 

Program Benefits

 

• Get a head start in the next deployment cycle, taking advantage of new and enhanced features available in upcoming releases
  
• Provide feedback on, and influence direction of, future updates to Skype for Business Server, directly to the product group
  
• Build a close relationship with the Skype for Business Server product team
  
• Participate the way that makes sense for your organization, with no obligations or commitments
  

 

 

Qualifications for Participation

 

• Willing to dedicate resources (people, time, and hardware) to testing pre-release Skype for Business Server builds
  
• Respond to requests for feedback, including surveys, attending conference calls and participating in email and Teams channel conversations
  
• Provide constructive insights with context
  
• Share feedback even when not requested, especially if a new feature is problematic for your organization
