"2020 has been a year of digital disruption, and the UCaaS marketspace is no exception. UCaaS has become absolutely critical in providing connectivity and flexibility. Indeed, in light the pandemic, those vendors that excel will have another 'C' in mind with their offerings: collaboration, particularly audio/video conferencing, whiteboarding, instant messaging, and so on, for enabling remote work," says Thomas Randall, research analyst, Info-Tech Research Group. "As such, when viewing the market, be sure to not only take into account your organization's telephony requirements, but your broader collaboration requirements, too. Building a unified experience for end users is key for enhancing their satisfaction."
