Cloud Communication Platform Market Analysis

The rising trend of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) with the emphasis on offering flexible work options is favoring the cloud communication platform market growth.

Cloud Communication Platform Market Overview

The phrase "cloud" refers to a complex system of interconnected computer platforms, networks, and applications that users access via the internet. Rather than requiring a huge computer (server) at the workplace to store and exchange files, all processing, storage, networking, and application resources are accessible over the Internet. Key suppliers give a large amount of processing power, which your team only uses a percentage of. This allows the team to access only the amount of computing power or storage they require at any one time, rather than having to manage a large server. This allows the IT team to focus on what's most essential for the organization rather than the complications of ensuring servers are safe, cooled, and maintained.  Using a Cloud Communications Platform will considerably lower costs while increasing company agility.

Cloud Communication Platform Market: Strategic Insights

Cloud Communication Platform Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Need of Bring Your Own Device to Favor Market

The BYOD (bring your own device) policy allows employees to use their personal devices for corporate purposes. This practice involves storing data on the cloud. The data can be viewed from anywhere, anytime, without any challenges. The growing trend of BYOD in the corporate sector is a key enabler of the cloud communication platform market across the globe. Mobility has been noted as one of the three most important collaboration trends for SMEs (Small and Medium-sized enterprises), with ~67% of employees now dealing with their own devices at work and close to 39% of businesses adopting a formal BYOD policy. By enabling employees’ devices with cloud services, SMEs provide their employees access to everything they need to perform their tasks, either at home or in the office.

Further, according to Cisco Systems, Inc. report, the BYOD concept enhances the productivity of employees. It also shows that 36% of users have been found to be hyper-productive. Cloud communication platform vendors are continuously building infrastructure to support BYOD implementation in the corporate sector by connecting applications, such as enterprise social media and security policy portals, many leading toward managed mobility services (MMS).

Growing usage of Unified Communications (UC)

UC technology allows for the integration of software that supports both real-time communications (RTC), such as phone over IP (VoIP), and asynchronous communication, such as persistent chat, ensuring that the end-user has simple, quick access to all important tools in a consistent environment from any physical location or digital device. Many UC products incorporate -- or even rely on -- team collaboration tools with messaging-centric processes and collaborative capabilities like real-time file sharing and annotation. These next-generation UC systems are often known as unified communications and collaboration (UCC).
