Few years ago, the unified communications market was dominated by proprietary platforms that were based on underlying open source SIP libraries or soft switches. As these platforms emerged, these vendors added instant messaging, presence, voice and video conferencing, and screen sharing. Fast forward to today, the market dynamics have evolved from a feature/functionality and handset discussion to collaboration strategy development. Workstream Collaboration tools have taken the market by storm as younger workers are demanding topic-based meeting spaces, choosing bluetooth headsets over handsets, and expecting video when talking to co-workers. According to Gartner, the workstream collaboration market is growing at a 96% CAGR. And without a doubt, Microsoft is the leading workstream collaboration solution followed by Cisco Webex, Slack, Jive and Altassian. According to the Wall Street Journal, 91 of the Fortune 100 are now using Microsoft Teams. And after fewer than two years in the market, Teams is used by more than 500,000 organizations worldwide.
