In the last six months, Microsoft added more PSTN Calling and Conferencing features, including iOS CallKit integration Skype for Business client for Mac and a new Skype for Business Server Cloud Connector edition for connecting on-premises telephony systems to Skype for Business Online.

Cloud PBX with PSTN Calling provides users with the ability to make and receive traditional phone calls in their Skype for Business client and to manage these calls using hold, resume, forward, and transfer. In 2015, Microsoft began offering three new Skype for Business services as part of its high-end Office 365 E5 plan: Skype Meeting Broadcast PSTN Conferencing and Calling and Cloud PBX. Microsoft also announced a preview of a new Skype for Business Call Analytics dashboard at the event, which aims to provide IT pros with better visibility into call issues. Microsoft is beefing up its Skype for Business service at the same time as cloud rival Amazon is getting into the conferencing space with its own Chime service and Google is trying to reposition its Hangouts service to appeal more to enterprise conferencing users. Microsoft announced both features at the Enterprise Connect conference in Orlando today, March 27.
