dicates that the total PBX market is forecast to exceed $6 billion in 2014, but will not return to its peak of over $7 billion reached in 2007. “We believe that over the next five years, UC will disrupt not only how vendors develop products, but also what kinds of ‘go-to-market’ strategies they implement,” said Alan Weckel, Director at Dell’Oro Group. “We believe it will take several software generations for a vendor to incorporate the functionality needed to become fully competitive with a UC offering in this market. This will give existing vendors opportunity to strengthen their installed base while giving new vendors the opportunity to enter this market,” Weckel added.
