#Skype4BRecap - 01/20/2016 - Skype Operations Framework CQD, Avaya Bankruptcy, E911 Fix, January Training

While the episode was a few days late, there was still some really good topics to be covered. While much of the "newsy" attention was given to Avaya's Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing, other great announcements like the launch of the Skype Operations Framework Quality User Experience module took center stage. For a complete listing of topics, see the section at the bottom. And of course, be sure to watch the episode below:
