Skip2PBX was developed and marketed by PC Service, an Italian company with offices in Perguia, Terni and Pistoia. PC Service’s precise objective was to create a way for companies to safely integrate Skype with their office systems. Many CEOs had the need to forward or manage calls between long distance or international locations in a cost effective way and Skype presented the most attractive bottom line.

Such management and call forwarding proved to be complicated in the past by the requirements of maintaining close watch of company call records and other statistics, while also wanting a network-secure manner in which employees could communicate for free, but without the lures of unnecessary elements such as “Chat” or video features on company time.

Skype offers corporations a great alternative to traditional communication channels, especially those with distributed locations. However, it can also open the company and its network to unsecured areas of the information superhighway where hackers are waiting in the “wings” to grab proprietary data. Once these areas are secure, the company also has to ensure that it is not promoting wasteful activities on company time.

A solution like Skip2PBX responds to the demands of these companies, enabling for secure connections that eliminate unnecessary communication channels to facilitate and effective communication environment. As a result, and considering the benefits that Skype offers – especially its No Charge platform – the demand for solutions such as Skip2PBX will continue to grow.
