Changes According to the Channel
“We’ve seen a big change in the past 6 months. People finally
understand that there’s not just cost, but also a benefit to UC - time
savings in mobile apps, click to call, video, etc.”
“I’m seeing a real bifurcation – customers who get UC and are
pushing the envelope for video. Others are stuck and haven’t been
able to find the business driver or articulate the value.”
“Up until now, people didn't know what the compelling use cases
were. Now it’s about mobile workers.”

What I’m Seeing
• IM/presence everywhere – but silo’d
• Big price drops
– UC bundled with call control, free clients
– Good for customers, but not vendor revenues
• CEBP? Still not that much
• Prof Services? Oh yeah!

Inhibitors to UC Adoption
![Page 21: SIPfoundry CoLab 2013 - Blair Pleasant Unified Communications Market Update](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042814/55618127d8b42aac268b5568/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Adoption Challenges
• “Without clear long-term visions, it can be tough to get these projects approved.”
• “Lack of clarity of vendor long-term direction. Vendors seem to be all over the map with a great story then some buzz word technology comes and it is "SQUIRREL!!!"
• “Customers must see clear value in not just the hardware and services costs, but the cost to changing the way they do business. That is where the real value is ultimately seen, but it’s very hard to show that changing the way they do business is ultimately required to stay competitive.”

Final Thoughts
COMMfusion LLC
UC is a vision or philosophy that leads to solutions - it is not a product!
