“We believe that over the next five years, UC will disrupt not only how vendors develop products, but also what kinds of ‘go-to-market’ strategies they implement,” said Alan Weckel, director at Dell’Oro Group. “We believe it will take several software generations for a vendor to incorporate the functionality needed to become fully competitive with a UC offering in this market. This will give existing vendors opportunity to strengthen their installed base while giving new vendors the opportunity to enter this market,” Weckel added.
The Dell’Oro Group 5-Year Forecast Report offers a complete overview of the enterprise telephony industry with tables covering manufacturers’ revenue, average selling prices for PBXs (IP, hybrid, traditional PBX, traditional key) and telephones (IP and legacy business phones).
