Small Businesses are a growing force in our society, and many giant corporations started out as an idea in someone\u2019s garage or in a backroom of an apartment.\u00a0 Last week I was writing about how UC was showing a positive growth over the next 5-10 years, and it made me think, where is this growth focused?\u00a0 Well it is not just centered on large corporations and enterprise level companies \u2013 in fact, most of the growth is coming from small businesses around the globe.<\/p>\n
According to new statistics by InfoTrack, UC technologies are expected to grow by ten percent every year for the next five years.\u00a0 SMB\u2019s represent roughly 30 percent of the spending on UC applications, and in the next five years it is expected that the growth of SMB\u2019s will be double that of enterprises.\u00a0 The amount these companies spend on UC technologies such as VoIP, videoconferencing, headsets, and software is also expected to go up by ten percent a year for the next few years.<\/p>\n
