Masergy Releases 2020 UCaaS and CCaaS Market Trends ReportMasergy, the software-defined network and cloud platform for the digital enterprise, today announced results from its new market trends report for Unified Communications (News - Alert) as a Service (UCaaS) and Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS). The survey found that security and network services are the top challenges for enterprises deploying or considering UCaaS and CCaaS technologies, and decision makers prefer bundled solutions that add security features, a software-defined network, and 24/7 performance monitoring. Conducted in partnership with IDG Research, the study analyzed responses from IT decision makers at global enterprises that are evaluating, planning to implement or have implemented UCaaS or CCaaS. Findings revealed that data security and network performance are the top two areas that IT focuses on to ensure their UCaaS and CCaaS solutions are successfully delivering on business goals. Moreover, integrated solutions from a single provider take precedence, because respondents say they result in easier implementation and management with better visibility and fewer integration issues. Key Findings 90+ Percent Prefer a Bundled SD-Network and Want 24/7 Monitoring
