There might be a challenge for replacing Skype with Teams
The Learning Curve:
It's obviously a major change from replacing Skype with Teams, which would require a learning curve for your employees to make sure everybody is up to date and knows how to use it, moreover special training sessions / additional time would be required to make your team fully functional with Teams.
Teams is a complex product, however Microsoft is planning to replace it by doing changes to the Office 365 implementation / modifications. This is just single update, who knows what more is Microsoft is planning to do?
