This deal will allow Facebook’s all 13,000 employees to access Redmond’s web-based calendar and email services. Before this deal, Facebook employees used the on-premises services for collaborating.
However, the users will be restricted to use the services like Skype and Yammer as they directly compete with Facebook’s offerings like Facebook Messenger and Facebook at Work.
Facebook internally uses Facebook at Work for communication. However, Tim Campos, Facebook’s chief information officer, says that email has its place and Facebook at Work isn’t a replacement of the same.
