Skype is opening up the Skype for SIP beta program to allow businesses of all sizes to utilize Skype for SIP with their existing SIP-based PBX or Unified Communications (UC) systems. A company’s IT administrator can create and register a Skype Business Control Panel (BCP) for the organization and then follow the instructions to configure Skype for SIP to work with its existing SIP-enabled communications system.

Furthermore, it gives companies the ability to manage internal employee accounts, including who uses Skype and who doesn’t and what features they can use.
