Rationalizing Demands for Unified Communications

This is in part because of the growing maturity of IP technology: Voice quality and reliability have become less of a concern for enterprises. More and more IP providers are able to offer SLAs specific to VoIP applications. Riding on the technological readiness, IP providers are preparing for a big push. The integration of unified communications (UC) into IP telephony is currently under the industry spotlight, with a growing number of IP telephony providers charting their UC

Finland IP Telephony and Unified Communications 2007 Vendor Shares and 2008-2012 Forecast

The Finnish IPT and unified communications market is continuing to show strong growth, but we are also witnessing a changing pattern in the components of the solutions package. "The market is quickly moving from an infrastructure focus towards applications and services," said Brian Troelsen, research manager, IDC Nordic. This also means that new breeds of vendors are starting to change the competitive market structures. "Established IT services vendors are starting to move into this market attracted by high growth rates and customers demands. Software vendors such as Microsoft and IBM are also becoming an integral part of this market by ensuring integration of communications to other company systems," Troelsen said. "This means that existing infrastructure vendors are faced with some challenging partnership considerations - should they build these application competencies themselves or is partnering the answer?"

U.S. Wireless SMS, IM, and MMS Messaging 2008-2012 Forecast: Robust Growth Continues

This IDC study analyzes the U.S. wireless messaging market - including short message service (SMS), instant messaging (IM), and multimedia message service (MMS) - which continues to lead the way among all data services. Messaging growth is being driven by the popularity of messaging plans that feature unlimited usage of SMS, MMS, and IM. Another contributing factor to growth is user adoption. As the number of users increases, usage patterns continue to increase. "IDC expects continued strong growth in both the short-term and long-term future for U.S. wireless messaging," notes IDC analyst Richard Murphy. "With only half of wireless subscribers currently using SMS, there is plenty of room for new users. The future should see increased adoption rates and also more users with mobile broadband phones. Also, with more carriers offering competitive messaging plans, look for messaging to continue to grow in popularity among most wireless subscriber and customer

"IDC believes a hybrid security architecture provides a higher degree of security and addresses more security requirements compared with a single deployment model."
