Zoom Certified Integrator

Skype for Business to Zoom Migration

Skype for Business and Lync are end of life. Move to Zoom, the modern, fully supported replacement, with users, meeting rooms, recordings and calling handled by a Zoom Certified Integrator, and adoption support that makes the change stick.

Skype for Business to Zoom migration
Quick answer

Yes, you can move from Skype for Business to Zoom, and you should, because Skype for Business and Lync are end of life. Codimite, a Zoom Certified Integrator, provisions your users, replaces meeting rooms with Zoom Rooms, retains the recordings you need, rebuilds your policies, and (where Skype for Business handled calling) moves telephony to Zoom Phone with number porting. It's primarily deployment and change management, not a bulk data migration.

Why migrate

Why teams move from Skype for Business to Zoom

It's end of life

Skype for Business Online is retired and consumer Skype has been wound down, so there is no supported, future-proof path on Skype. Staying put is the real risk.

One modern platform

Zoom replaces Skype meetings and Skype for Business calling, and adds chat and whiteboard, one Zoom Workplace license instead of an aging stack.

Reliability and scale

Modern meeting quality, large meetings, full webinars and Zoom Events well beyond what legacy Skype delivered.

Rooms and hardware

Zoom Rooms and certified devices give a consistent in-room experience.

AI Companion

Meeting and call summaries and next-step capture included with Zoom Workplace.

What we migrate

What we move from Skype for Business

Skype for Business holds little portable meeting data, so the work is provisioning, rooms, policies and, if you used Enterprise Voice, telephony porting.

Item How it moves to Zoom Notes
Users & directory Provisioned in Zoom from your IdP SSO / SCIM via Entra ID, Active Directory, Okta
Meeting rooms / hardware Re-deployed as Zoom Rooms Legacy room kit replaced or re-pointed; key cutover effort
Telephony (Enterprise Voice) Moved to Zoom Phone Number porting (LNP), extensions, queues, auto-attendant, voicemail
Recordings you retain Exported and re-hosted Manual export where files exist; scope agreed in assessment
Meeting & security policies Rebuilt as Zoom policies Recording, lobby, retention mapped to your rules
Contacts / org structure Synced into Zoom From directory; groups and roles mapped

IM/presence history and contact lists in Skype for Business have limited export paths, so if persistent chat matters, we scope it during the assessment.

FAQs

Skype for Business to Zoom FAQ

Is Skype for Business really end of life?

Yes. Skype for Business Online is retired and consumer Skype has been wound down. Running it now means running unsupported software; Zoom is the modern, supported replacement.

What happens to our phone numbers?

If Skype for Business handled calling, we move telephony to Zoom Phone and port your numbers, rebuilding extensions, queues, auto-attendants and voicemail.

Is this a data migration?

Mostly no. It's deployment, rooms, policies and (where applicable) number porting. Recording retention is a scoped export, not a bulk API move.

How long does it take?

Days to a couple of weeks for meetings only; two to six weeks where telephony and porting are involved.

What does it cost?

Pricing is scoped to users, rooms and whether telephony porting is included. Start with a free assessment for a fixed quote.
