and personalize communications. As firms increasingly understand the drawbacks of piecemeal stacks – even when built on the same foundational base – a rising preference for truly unified UC will help curb complexity, cut implementation time, and increase operational consistency. In terms of smart tech, the latest wave of AI is already delivering some incredibly powerful new capabilities. As tech sophistication continues to progress at dizzying speed, it will be important to ensure a balance between harnessing emerging innovations and persistent practical value. Businesses must partner with vendors that understand their specific business challenges and are developing solutions that can grow with their future aspirations. Fortunately, more than ever UC solutions are tailoring themselves for specific business sizes or industries, so businesses can do their homework and find the perfect match.

The key challenge is telling truly cohesive offerings apart from platforms that are comprised of several disparate integrated products trying to achieve the same thing, which can pose serious challenges, not least for the consistent implementation of AI. With more firms starting to recognise UC as vital for both internal and external connections, tech shopping lists have also expanded. Companies are looking for platforms that enable smooth transitions between channels and integrations with business applications, on top of providing actionable AI use cases and slick, intuitive interfaces that employees and customers enjoy using. While AI innovations have added to security challenges, vendors are accelerating their efforts to tackle emerging problems and risks. In addition to enhancing hacking defences and allowing companies to apply carefully controlled access permissions, the more advanced provide zero trust models and end-to-end encryption.
