Skype call volumes and quality of calls are captured between pairs of locations for any specified day, week or month. Providers and their enterprise customers can visualise Skype behaviour across an ICT estate through a ‘grid-style' presentation. Any problems with the application's performance in relation to the network infrastructure can be identified in real-time and can thereby lead to shorter resolution times.

Antony Bream, Managing Director of Highlight says, "Our service is unique amongst UC monitoring solutions in that it focuses on a business level presentation of the analytics data. Managed service providers can ensure their customers have full confidence that a Skype solution is right-sized, from a capacity and call quality point of view, that it is being used effectively across an organisation and that when people use Skype, they get their work done without hindrance."

He continues, "Most importantly, the shared view allows corporate directors to independently verify that they are getting value for money and return on their UC and Skype investments. The improved visibility also enables managers to identify and encourage reluctant users to adopt UC."

, Highlight offers a scalable, software-as-a-service solution that reduces the number of monitoring tools required to manage a UC installation.

Antony adds, "With full disclosure of information to all parties regarding call quality and quality of experience, discussions between the service provider and their customers can be more open and honest about bandwidth provision and line quality, since they are using factual, shared data, thereby building a more trusting relationship."

By hovering over either a grid element, or a location name, users can see volumes of activity and overall quality metrics. The user can choose to include Voice sessions, Voice + Video (for video calls), Application Sharing sessions, or everything.
