29% Leverage the Same Vendor for Both CCaaS and UCaaS

Tricia Morris at 8×8 outlines the eight top takeaways from Metrigy’s Focus on CCaaS + UCaaS Leadership Report.

Research and advisory firm Metrigy recently released a special report that discusses the increasing adoption of contact centre as a Service (CCaaS) and Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) technology from a single vendor.

The firm, which focuses on the rapidly changing areas of workplace collaboration, digital workplace, digital transformation, customer experience, and employee experience, notes that 29% of companies responding to their latest research currently leverage the same vendor for both CCaaS and UCaaS, while 43% are planning to do so in the near future.

Why? According to Metrigy’s Customer Experience Transformation study, when companies successfully integrate UC and contact centre, customer ratings improve by 26.5%, operational costs drop by 18%, revenue increases by 22.6%, and employee productivity improves by 23.1%.

Here are six other top takeaways from Metrigy’s Focus on CCaaS + UCaaS Leadership Special Report:

• The global market for UCaaS was $19 billion in 2022. Metrigy forecasts that market to grow at a 5% CAGR, reaching $24.4 billion by 2027.

One of these providers was 8×8 which offers a platform solution for both contact centre and unified communications.
