However, in recent times, Australian carriers and service providers have responded to prevailing market conditions, by offering Hosted Telephony/Unified Communication services, which encompasses feature-rich overlay. Cloud Computing has evolved from Mainframe Computing to also resurfaced as the leading edge alternative to current distributed and fragmented computing model.

As Australian businesses look to take full advantage of the Unified Communications (UC) and computing platform, the reduction of costs, increase in workforce productivity and business process improvements will be among the priorities for decision makers in 2009.
