The market for all forms of conferencing and collaboration is rapidly evolving. While demand for remote access to colleagues, clients and partners is clearly increasing, the means by which we do so is expanding and more diverse than ever,” said Glowpoint (GLOW) President and CEO Peter Holst.
“With a strengthened balance sheet, the Company is now developing new services that extend its mastery of video conferencing into a broader support platform with the goal of accelerating end user adoption of UC1 applications. According to Wainhouse Research2, the 2016 UCaaS3 market was $6 billion, and is projected to grow to $14 billion in 2021 – a 5 year CAGR of 18%. There were 133 million UCaaS seats in 2016 – projected to grow to 343 million in 2021 but only an estimated 18% were actively used for UC. Given the growing market opportunity for end user adoption, the Company intends to release a subset of new services in the first half of 2018 to a select group of current and prospective customers who want to accelerate user transformation quickly and efficiently as they move to cloud services. We look forward to working with our customers and partners as they look to more effectively migrate and adopt next generation collaboration services.”
