Driven by a pandemic, we have fundamentally changed the way we work and communicate. The last two years have been uniquely challenging for businesses of every size and stripe and we have seen many new technologies rushing to the forefront to redefine how we work daily.
Across enterprises, unified communication solutions and collaboration tools offer mobility, flexibility, and increased productivity. Businesses can hold online meetings using video conferencing and audio conferencing with the help of unified communication technologies whilst employees can access resources they need, to execute their jobs on any device and any location due to a digital workforce.
According to analysts, the unified communications and collaboration market is expected to grow from US$47.26 billion in 2021 to USD 113.81 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 13.4% and this market is expected to increase in demand as changing workforce dynamics and hybrid work models continue.
