The history of technology has shown us that the most impactful advancements often result from the convergence of traditionally separate technologies into one solution. In the business communications landscape, the three solutions that have had the biggest impact on the industry over the past decade are unified communications, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), and smart devices. All three of these solutions converge traditionally separate technologies into one platform. By doing so, they each have completely changed the way we build communications solutions for the better – making it easier than ever to access all the tools that a business needs in a simple and scalable fashion.

More than three years after a pandemic shifted companies to remote and hybrid work overnight, businesses still struggle to support their employees with robust, flexible, and secure IT infrastructure. The problem is unlikely to go away any time soon. Gartner, for example, reports that 82% of business leaders intend to allow employees to work remotely into the foreseeable future.

The COVID19 pandemic forced organizations all over the world to go remote – with no warning. With entire companies now working from home, the way that they communicate completely changed, as did the tools they need to do so. All of a sudden, every business needed desktop and mobile tools to support remote workers, video became a requirement and headsets were more in-demand then phones. For those of us in the communication technology sector, this forced us to quickly adjust to the new remote solutions our customers needed, altering the industry more than anything in a generation. However, this sudden landscape change served as a case study of what next-generation technology could do for our world, and therefore provided a window into the future of communication technology. Because of all of the benefits it offers to businesses, employees and society-at-large, remote work is not a trend – it is the future. As a result, communication technology that does not support secure and flexible remote usage will quickly be pushed to the side.

There is no ‘official’ definition for the term Unified Communications (UC), but most you find will focus on the integration of voice, video, data and mobility into a centralized communication network. While UC still revolves around the integration of these four platforms, the technology that makes up each of those areas, and how we use them, has evolved quite a bit.  In the same way that the term “Web 2.0” was coined to differentiate the newer generation of internet technology, maybe it is time to usher in "UC 2.0".  UC is no longer just traditional VoIP systems combined with SIP or H.323 video conferencing room systems – it is smart devices, mobile apps, collaboration tools and specialized data management platforms. This blog will highlight the current landscape of UC solutions to show what has changed and preview what may be the next major advancements in the UC ecosystem.
