| | AUGUST 20236CIOReviewUnified Communications (UC) has transitioned from being considered a discretionary addition to the business technology stack to an essential investment. It is a compelling remedy for the diverse array of communication hurdles that arise in modern enterprises. To effectively adapt to the dynamic digital and communication landscapes, the implementation of a hybrid working environment is progressively becoming indispensable. Consequently, this paradigm shift has prompted UC vendors to place a premium on the creation of devices tailored to individuals' favored work settings.In the pursuit of a resilient and all-encompassing experience facilitated by UC and collaboration tools, a fresh set of challenges arises in maintaining comprehensive visibility and control over the entire technology stack. In response, organizations are actively pursuing more advanced tools that can enable them to effectively manage their ecosystem by integrating multiple tools within a unified cloud environment. Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI), UC systems have successfully automated diverse tasks, thus minimizing the necessity for manual intervention and optimizing workflows.Additionally, the integration of virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) applications into UC tools has the potential to usher in a transformative era of collaboration across industries. This integration will facilitate elevated perception of presence among teams and introduce innovative approaches for staff to visualize and address challenges.In this edition of CIOReview, we present some of the top Unified Communication Solutions and Services Providers.
