In the U.S., audio conferencing revenues continue to grow as companies expand their use of conferencing as a collaboration tool, which doubles as a cost-saving measure to help businesses combat growing pressure to reduce costs. The trend is expected to accelerate in Europe and Asia as well, creating new opportunities globally for Collaboration Service Providers (CSPs). However, as new competitors enter the market to service this growing demand, established CSPs will continue to feel price pressures of their own if they continue to deliver increasingly commoditized basic conferencing services using traditional TDM conference bridge technology.
Innovative CSPs are responding to these challenges by deploying next-generation VoIP architectures based on open standards. These new systems not only lower their costs, but are also supporting new service opportunities, such as integrated voice/Web conferencing features and “click to conference” capabilities, enabling their customers to communicate and collaborate more effectively. With growing market opportunities and technology advances in service delivery platforms, leading CSPs are well positioned to improve the scalability and economics of their audio conferencing infrastructures, while delivering increased value to their customers.
