Organizations have started transitioning to Unified Communications (UC) solutions to increase revenues; lower operating expenses, and maintain customer relationships. UC improves decision-making by incorporating various communication instruments such as multimodal communication into a single platform. Thus, unified communications solutions promote cross-functional communication activities and generate positive results. The rising trends of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) coupled with an upsurge in the mobile workforce and the provision of a hybrid workplace model are foreseen to thoroughly affect the global market growth during the forecast period. Smart appliances replace the traditional work culture using desktops, PC, and computers as primary means of business communications. Mobile devices that support UC allow employees to stay connected from anywhere at any time. Hence, employees must expand beyond a single desktop workstation and work remotely, assuring high productivity.
Unified communication is a domain that has been developing for over a decade. The technology introduces integrated communications devices that enable institutions to achieve multiple benefits, such as streamlining business processes, lowering communications' overall cost, and enabling room for collaboration. Organizations specializing in UC services accentuate simplifying their solutions, which makes the services easier to manage, deploy and purchase. There has been an improved focus on utilizing past user experience as a crucial tool for designing new solutions and improving existing ones, which would lead to the overall growth of the market in the forecast period.
Furthermore, business communications are increasing, and organizations are looking for methods to manage complexity, control costs, and improve overall productivity. This has led to the increasing adoption of UC solutions, primarily delivered in a cloud-based or hosted Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) model. Organizations are redefining their business models to gain flexibility, productivity, and agility.
Additionally, incorporating real-time data, video communications, and telephony systems become critical to business activities in the ever-changing business environment. Thus, associations adopt these UC solutions to enhance communications and collaborations internally with remote staff and externally with clients and suppliers.
The highly infectious nature of COVID-19 and the increasing number of cases has led enterprises to temporarily stop their on-premise operations and suggest work-from-home facilities to their employees. This has enabled SMEs and large enterprises to leverage unified communications technology and assure seamless communication among team members and co-working teams.
The COVID-19 outbreak has also encouraged associations such as healthcare providers, educational institutes, and government agencies to adopt vital business communications tools, which is anticipated to cause a paradigm shift in communication processes in the future.
