Collaboration in the cloud provides a secure environment for colleagues to share and work on a single document simultaneously. This service works using cloud computing and extends its services to other managed cloud services, such as a communication channel. Collaboration in the cloud enables access to large files and enables real-time updates, improving organizations. Collaboration solutions in the cloud also offer great agility to businesses while allowing easy sharing of data between remote and virtual users. Companies are now looking for services that offer easy access and increased productivity with changing business demands, meeting the growing need for agile support.

With increasing automation trends, coupled with changing mobility, it has become increasingly important for organizations to seek solutions capable of delivering services, thereby reducing overall infrastructure costs.

MARKET DRIVERS

Factors such as increased mobility and growing trend to bring your device, growing savings and staff productivity, reduction of investments and operating expenses and high rate of adoption in small and medium-sized companies are primarily driving the growth of the cloud collaboration market.

Unified communications and solutions, since their inception, have become a cost-effective solution for many organizations in various industries, such as healthcare and education. In addition, the cloud delivery of these unified communications from companies such as Mitel Networks Corporation and IBM shapes the way organizations manage their communications networks. According to AT&T, business leaders are increasingly looking for ways to change the workplace. The market is experiencing strong growth in the adoption of cloud-hosted collaboration solutions due to the increase in the mobile workforce associated with the BYOD trend. Unified communications and collaboration solutions occupy a significant portion of cloud-based deployments.

Unified communication and solutions made it easy for employees to stay connected with other employees and for customers and clients to communicate with them wherever they were. With the need to make businesses more efficient and collaborative, recent years have seen a steady rise in collaboration solutions. These tools have increased productivity and unlocked innovation by enabling virtual teams to work together across geographies. Another trend driving the demand for cloud-based solutions is the desire of companies to incorporate collaboration and communication tools into their business applications and the integration of workflows.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Fierce competition between suppliers, redesigning the network for the cloud involves costs, lack of security and great dependence on the Internet are majorly hampering the growth of the cloud collaboration market.
