To distinguish from the competition, vendors have two choices: continue simply packing on more features, or bring added value to their platforms by enhancing user experience, facilitating interoperability, and improving flexibility.\u201d<br \/>\nAccording to GlobalData\u2019s 2021 report, \u2018Collaboration Tools \u2013 Thematic Research\u2019, the communication platforms market, which was worth $16.3 billion in 2020, will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15% between 2020 and 2025, driven by the growing number of employees working from remote locations and the need to establish strong links between them and office-based staff. The report identified collaboration (using technology to enable teamwork) and connectivity (using networked devices to improve communication) as two of the five pillars of the \u2018Future of Work\u2019.<br \/>\nLaura Petrone, Principal Analyst in the Thematic Intelligence Team at GlobalData, comments: \u201cAs the pressure of the pandemic eases and economies globally emerge from lockdowns, it is clear that there will be no return to the old normal. Collaboration tools will be a key part of our post-pandemic working lives, alongside other technologies such as connectivity, AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity. By providing employees with a single interface across the tools they use daily, collaboration tools encourage a cohesive digital work environment across a geographically dispersed workforce.\u201d<br \/>\nLooking at recent \u2018Cisco Live 2022\u2019 announcements, including new features on the company\u2019s Webex platform as well as the addition of two meeting devices, Willsky offers his view: \u201cWhat is most intriguing about the new features of Cisco\u2019s Webex collaboration platform is the three key hybrid work themes they reflect: user experience (external call background noise removal and call continuity), integration (the Webex contact center functions with Microsoft Teams), and cooperation between rivals (the Cisco Video Phone 8875, Webex Room Bar, and other devices can now be integrated with Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google meet). These avenues offer an opportunity for Cisco to stand out from the crowd.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">* Frequency of Visiting Office Aftermath of COVID-19 poll; 5,439 responses; I would visit the office \u2018weekly\u2019, \u2018monthly\u2019, \u2018quarterly\u2019, \u2018only when management asks\u2019 and \u2018never\u2019 combined<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Above, image credited to Cisco \/ All rights reserved to Sandra Cifo<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>70% of industry professionals would prefer hybrid or remote working* The leading data and analytics company notes that this is leading unified communication and collaborations (UC&amp;C) providers such as Cisco to focus on hybrid working themes when it comes to new office technology.
