Research and Markets: The Effect of WebRTC on the Unified Communications and Collaboration Market

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dnxcl5/the_effect_of) has announced the addition of the "The Effect of WebRTC on the Unified Communications and Collaboration Market " report to their offering.

Web Real-time Communication (WebRTC) ranks among the most disruptive communications and collaboration technologies seen in years. Since the release of the project in May 2011, the market has seen an explosive growth of both WebRTC support and WebRTC-based offerings. This Frost & Sullivan market insight analyzes the impact of WebRTC on the enterprise unified communications and collaboration (UCC) market and enterprise communications vendor strategies.

State of the Market:

• While WebRTC is still a work-in-progress draft, the Google (News - Alert) open-source project is far from being just hype.
• Since the release of the project in May 2011, the market has seen an explosive growth of both WebRTC support and WebRTC-based offerings.
• Almost all leading UC and contact center vendors have publicly stated their desire to work with WebRTC capabilities and bring new solutions to the market.
• On the negative front, while the WebRTC landscape continues to evolve, the market is still in its infancy stages when it comes to real business adoption and true deployments. Case studies of current WebRTC usage are still few and many businesses, as well as technology vendors, are adopting a wait-and-see approach pending issue resolution.
• Existing challenges such as the continued video codec battle, the lack of cooperation and interest from vendors such as Apple and Microsoft (News - Alert), interoperability issues, and the general lack of understanding of what WebRTC really is are still curbing WebRTC's growth potential.
