Unified Communications (UC) is an innovative technology that integrates various communication methods into a single platform. The objective of UC is to provide seamless communication for businesses, regardless of time and location. With the rapid advancement of technology, UC has become an indispensable tool for modern businesses looking to improve collaboration and increase efficiency. In 2023, the UC market is set to evolve even further, and there are several trends that businesses need to be aware of.
Cloud-based UC Solutions
Cloud-based UC solutions are becoming increasingly popular because of their scalability and cost-effectiveness, for example Worktual is FREE for the first 5 users. Cloud-based UC solutions offer businesses the ability to access their communication tools from anywhere, at any time, as long as they have an internet connection. This enables remote workers to collaborate effectively with their colleagues, increasing productivity and reducing downtime.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integration
AI has the potential to revolutionize Unified Communication by providing advanced features and tools to help businesses communicate more effectively. AI can be used to automate tasks such as call routing, voice recognition, and transcription, freeing up employees to focus on more important tasks. It can also be used to analyse communication patterns, providing businesses with valuable insights into their communication processes. Worktual has already developed a Meeting Highlights and Speaker Identification features with many more on the way.
Increased Focus on Video
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, video conferencing has become an essential tool for remote workers and businesses. In 2023, we can expect to see an increased focus on video conferencing solutions, with businesses looking to improve the quality and functionality of their video conferencing tools. This includes the introduction of virtual and augmented reality solutions, providing a more immersive experience for participants.
Increased Collaboration between UC and Internet of Things (IoT) Devices
IoT devices are becoming increasingly common in the workplace, and UC solutions are starting to integrate with these devices. This will allow employees to control and monitor IoT devices through their UC platforms, providing increased efficiency and collaboration. For example, the evolution of ‘smart’ meeting rooms in the workplace which may be able to augment Worktual AI features such as Speaker Identification.
5G Integration
5G networks are expected to become widely available in 2023, providing faster and more reliable internet connections. UC solutions will integrate with 5G networks, providing businesses with improved communication and collaboration. With our sister mobile company, we are already seeing the accelerated adoption of 5G in the consumer space, often a bell-weather for business market adoption.
In conclusion, UC is set to evolve significantly in 2023, with businesses looking to embrace innovative technologies and tools to improve their communication processes. From cloud-based solutions to AI integration and 5G networks, there are many trends to watch out for in 2023.
