Affects of the pandemic, particularly widespread remote work and work from home practices, will have lasting impact on how people work and the communications and collaboration tools they use. The year 2022 promises to be a year of transition as COVID-19 infection rates decline globally and as end user organizations of all sizes, industries and regions begin to finalize and execute on strategies to shape the next normal.
Frost & Sullivan's 2022 UCC industry predictions report leverage surveys that collected the plans of thousands of IT decision makers globally, and cross checked these data points to develop 7 predictions of what will take place in the comping year, spanning workforce and work style evolution, redesigning the workplace, and technology developments that are both guided by these trends as well as enabling them.
The report provides takeaways with recommendations for enterprise decision decision makers as well as growth opportunities for providers in this environment.
