Most organizations have turned to cloud computing technologies to streamline their business applications and work more flexibility. A phone system should be no exception. As the modern workforce grows increasingly mobile, cloud communications break the chain between employees and their desks. With the dramatic shift to work from anywhere (WFA), organizations of all sizes are looking to the cloud for secure, scalable, and flexible unified communications (UC) to sustain employee productivity and business continuity. According to a study from IDC, the worldwide Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C) market grew 24.9% year-over-year in 2020, to $47.2 billion. Fortinet anticipates this trend will expand to further support remote and hybrid workers with reliable UC.
