Access the Market Study: Market SpotCheck: Communications Platforms – Q1 2023 (CY Jan -Mar 2023)

Overview:

This report has been updated since originally released. This report was updated on June 13, 2023.

In recent years our data estimation models have evolved to represent the retail, or “street price”, of communications technologies as this approach reduces the risk of double counting revenue and thereby misstating the market size. Our first release of this report included a mix of retail price and OEM dollars to the vendor which undercounted the market size and created an under estimation of ASPs. This iteration of the report corrects this error and updates all impacted numbers, graphs and tables.

This quarterly market SpotCheck tracks the Communications Platform (CP) Market. Data covers licenses and revenues of Communications Platform providers, online meetings, and enterprise calling. Data is collected directly from the vendors or estimated by The Futurum Group’s Workplace Collaboration practice from known data points (previous license counts, revenue reports, private briefings, publicly available information, and growth percentages.) Futurum Intelligence does not publish data for individual vendors or their market shares but does provide vendor ranking based on the number of licenses. This data has been collected or estimated for the following vendors:

8×8/Fuze
