Worldwide Unified Communications and Collaboration Forecast, 2024-2028


This IDC study aggregates the forecasts of the key technology market segments that make up the worldwide unified communications and collaboration ecosystem."The UC&C market has matured after significant investments were made in the past few years by businesses to address the changed work environment," said Jitesh Gera, research manager, Unified Communications and Collaboration at IDC. "In addition, the crowded UC&C market has led many solutions toward commoditization. However, AI is now changing the game altogether, bringing a fresh wave of new and differentiated capabilities that are likely to draw more investments in the coming years as businesses vie for enhanced employee productivity and better customer engagement."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
