Some useful informations on Skype:

My main concern regarding Skype is the Skype API that allows
applications to use Skype as an overlay network, bypassing any network
security policy.
However, Skype has providing an "enterprise" client to which you can
push policies, disabling lots of features. Never tried it, but might
worth having a look.
