Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Telecom team said; Since globalization is increasing in the present business scenario, communication among people across the world is very important. Audio and video conferencing is the preferred method of organizations for this purpose. Audio and video conferencing help people communicate face to face with each other without being physically present. When video is enabled in a conferencing suite that can facilitate the sharing of documents, presentations and voice, it enhances productivity. This also enhances the value of unified communication and increases its demand among consumers.

Since the competition is intensifying, the demand for increasing outcomes and increasing profits will increase in the business environment. Unified communication helps in having a better communication platform to get connected to people with no location barriers. This will increase the productivity of employees by giving them freedom to work through a virtual workstation. This will increase the availability of all employees in the business environment whenever required. As a result, clients can get a better response, and hence business outcomes will increase.

Further, the report discusses that one of the major challenges is the high initial cost for the installation of the system.
