While they understand what UC is all about, many vendors are not ready to change their business models to support what they know is looming on the horizon: Lower-priced PBXs that are an element of an enterprise communications model rather than PBXs as standalones existing unto themselves. This puts most IP-PBX vendors in an awkward position: They need to continue selling expensive PBX solutions while they add products and services that will offset lower prices once PBXs become a call control feature server in a UC environment.
The UC blogosphere has been abuzz with discussion about UC adoption. But what’s missing from this debate is the distinction between today’s mostly narrow use of individual UC tools and the fundamental changes in communications coming in the rapidly-approaching future.
