Unbiased perspectives from Wainhouse Research and Tata Communications
Enterprises have a variety of choices when it comes to adopting new Unified Communications (UC) solutions. The current reality is that very few enterprises come close to unlocking the full potential of their UC platform to achieve the ideal experience. The UC landscape is evolving and the buying decision is becoming increasingly complex. IT teams need to constantly re-evaluate their strategy keeping in mind the numerous UC and UCaaS solutions, the end-user behavior, and growing expectations from the platform.
In this webinar, Bill Haskins from Wainhouse Research provides his expert analysis of the current UC market. Bill will discuss the pros and cons of leading enterprise UC solutions. Having observed the evolution of the UC industry closely, Bill will coverkey considerations for enterprise IT teams as they prepare their UC roadmaps for current and future needs.

Bill will be joined by Chad Elford from Tata Communications who will discuss the UC approach taken by many leading enterprises globally. Chad will provide insights on business collaboration through UCaaS solutions and how it helps enterprises achieve their goals.
