Migrating IT services from on-premise to cloud-based infrastructure seems appealing for the Unified Communication as a service market. It promises rapid deployment, greater agility, scalability and lowers the total cost of ownership. Although there are a lot of benefits, many large organizations consider cloud-based solutions impractical. They perceive cloud-based infrastructure as risky in terms of security, reliability, and regularity compliances. Apart from all these, the amount of customization, integration, and control required for large scale deployment is seen as an impractical task.

A large number of organizations have started using UCaaS to streamline communication and improve business processes, thus reducing travel time and increasing revenue. UCaaS also helps organizations operate at different sites by communicating more effectively and increasing market reach. Integration of different Unified Communications (UC) devices and technologies such as Instant Messaging (IM), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), audio and video conferencing over cloud, presence management and mobility, provide an opportunity to different vendors to collaborate, giving rise to a new revenue model.
