The document discusses upgrading from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams. It provides an overview of Teams and how it brings together chat, meetings, calling, collaboration and file storage. It then outlines a framework for planning and implementing the upgrade, including preparing the IT environment and users, implementing in pilot and production phases, and ongoing adoption and optimization. It describes different "coexistence modes" to define how Skype for Business and Teams can be used together during the transition.

bringing together chat, meetings,
calling, collaboration, app integration,
and file storage into a single interface.

16. Skype for Business only
In this coexistence mode,
users remain in Skype for
Business—not Teams—for
chat, meeting and calling
capabilities, and they don’t
use Teams for teams and
channels.
Islands mode
Run Teams alongside Skype
for Business as two separate
solutions that deliver similar
and overlapping capabilities
such as chat, calling, and
meetings. Teams users also
can take advantage of
collaboration capabilities such
as teams and channels, access
to files in Office 365, and
applications.
Each of the client applications
operates as a separate island.
Skype for Business talks to
Skype for Business, and Teams
talks to Teams. Users run both
clients and can communicate
natively in the client from
Teams Only
A Teams only user can only
use the Skype for Business
client to join existing Skype
for Business meetings, or
meetings on Skype for
Business that have been
organized by non-upgraded
users or external parties. An
upgraded user can continue
to communicate with other
users in the organization
who are still using Skype for
Business by using the
interoperability capabilities
between Teams and Skype
for Business; however, an
upgraded user can’t initiate
Skype for Business with
Teams Collaboration
Use this mode to introduce
Teams in your environment
while you continue to
leverage your existing
investment in Skype for
Business. In this mode, you
leave Skype for Business
unchanged with chat,
calling, and meeting
capabilities, and you add
Teams collaboration
capabilities—teams and
channels, access to files in
Office 365, and applications.
Organizations with starting
point of Skype for Business
Skype for Business with
Teams Collaboration
and Meetings
Use this coexistence mode to
accelerate the availability of Teams
meeting capabilities in your
organization, take advantage of
new capabilities such as
transcription and translation, and
support for meetings in browsers.
Along with using teams and
channels–based conversations in
this mode, users start using Teams
to schedule and conduct their
meetings. Private chats, and voice
and video calling, remain on Skype
for Business.
This coexistence mode is
especially useful for users in Skype
for Business on-premises
