Global institutional and government initiatives supporting the introduction of unified communication deployment across various industry sectors is expected to positively impact market growth. Technological advancements and surging adoption of cloud computing technologies are expected to drive demand for hosted UC solutions.

Such virtual assistants are expected to witness greater deployment of bots as an authentic alternative to human interaction for customer service. Additionally, merging of traditional telecom and IT functions along with emergence of convergence has enabled several businesses to become familiar with UC and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) concepts.

Furthermore, enterprises are planning to converge their unified communication applications around a single vendor, with most choosing Microsoft Corporation and Cisco Systems, Inc. For instance, Comcast Business has offered integration between its cloud phone service, business voice edge, and Microsoft Office 365, making it possible for Office 365 to receive or initiate calls from Outlook. This integration has allowed users to make phone calls while responding to an email.
