Frost & Sullivan’s 2023 IT decision-maker (ITDM) survey was conducted to gain insights on the following end-user organizations’ priorities:
• Current communications and collaboration technology adoption rates and future adoption plans
• Current adoption and future demand for Microsoft Teams Phone and Microsoft Teams Phone Mobile, as well as public switched telephone
network (PSTN) enablement of Teams environments
• Preferences among available PSTN deployment options, including Direct Routing, Operator Connect, and mobile/native dialer offerings.
The overall research objective is to measure the current use and future decision-making behavior toward communications and collaboration solutions across industry verticals, customer segments, job roles and geographic regions. More specifically, this study provides analysis on adoption trends and strategic opportunities for telecommunications operators, service providers and technology vendors to grow in the Bring Your Own Carrier (BYOC) ecosystem.
