FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--International Data Corporation (IDC) has just released 2016 IDC Innovators research recognizing vendors within the unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) market that are focused on performance monitoring and management solutions. These solutions solve or help to alleviate an IT buyer challenge by helping network managers introduce new levels of efficiency, provide greater levels of manageability, reduce costs, and improve the overall user experience.
IDC has named three vendors as IDC Innovators for 2016 within the UC&C performance management solutions market: IR (Integrated Research), Nectar, and VOSS Solutions.
"Organizations across a range of industries are extremely dependent on the communications and collaboration solutions and applications operating on their networks today. Those networks support vital employee and customer interactions, internal business processes, and deliver services to staff, partners and suppliers, as well as customers," said Rich Costello, senior research analyst, Unified Communications & Collaboration. "The solutions profiled in this research can intuitively provide benefits such as automated, accelerated provisioning; real-time monitoring; advanced reporting and analytics; and/or proactive troubleshooting, among others."
IR Prognosis provides an integrated suite of monitoring/management software that brings real-time visibility, insight, and control to complex, multi-vendor UC and contact center environments. Nectar's flagship offering UCMP (UC Management Platform) improves visibility and service delivery across integrated voice, video, and data application solutions. VOSS-4-UC is a complete tool set that can transform the way communications architectures are designed, deployed and operated in public and private cloud environments.
IDC Innovators: Performance Management Solutions for Unified Communications & Collaboration, 2016 (IDC #US41949516) profiles vendors in the area of UC&C management solutions with an innovative technology or a groundbreaking new business model or both. This research includes companies with revenue of less than $100 million with a product, service, or business model for a specific use case.
