On the heels of releasing Lync for both Windows Phone and Android, Microsoft has today made available appicaitons for both the iPad and iPhone.
Lync is Microsoft’s enterprise chat system, and is also a component of the Office 365 cloud productivity system. You can download the iPad application here, and the iPhone application here.
Lync has been one of the bright spots in Microsoft’s recent history, with the product being well received, and growing in strides. Office 365 has also been performing strongly. TNW recently caught up with the Office team, and they confirmed that it continues to perform at high levels.
