Worldwide Web Conferencing Applications Software Forecast, 2024-2028: Hands-On, Intelligent Conferencing


This IDC study highlights the evolving web conferencing market, emphasizing the integration of AI to enhance human connectedness, collaboration, and multimodality in the workplace. IDC predicts a moderate growth in the market, driven by AI features and the expansion to a broader workforce, including frontline workers. This study also provides guidance to technology suppliers on how to adapt to the new digital economy and the emerging elements of a collaborative culture that powers collaborative, AI, and multimodal content — as well as the headwinds that companies are facing. This also looks to the major changes that will enhance revenue growth in the conferencing market, including those that will affect the content and interfaces of conferencing.“Conferencing has used AI for better lighting, audio, translations, and transcriptions. Conferencing platforms are evolving to become even more interesting, visual, and engaging, all to drive better collaboration and outcomes,” according to Wayne Kurtzman, research vice president for Social, Community, and Collaboration Applications at IDC. “Over the next five years, we will start to move from ‘people in boxes–style conferencing’ to more engaging formats, helping better measure outcomes. Ultimately, more lifelike video will drive revenue increases later in the forecast period. Conferencing, like collaboration, is about to start to develop characteristics found in multiplayer games — just for the workspace.”

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.
