In UCaaS environments, data security and compliance are of particular concern, in particular with respect to the protection of sensitive communications information as well as complying with regulatory requirements. Concerns about data privacy, inscription, access control, and compliance with industry regulations may prevent organisations from moving sensitive or confidential communications to the cloud.

  • Lack Of Interoperability

Increase in scrutiny of costs of Businesses may be more reluctant to invest in new technologies, particularly if the return-on-investment ROI is not clear. In order to win customers, UCaaS providers may have to demonstrate a strong cost advantage. Focus on short term needs: core business functions may be prioritised by companies in survival mode. Cost savings and effectiveness: UCaaS provides a way to consolidate communication tools, which is likely to bring down total IT costs. Businesses looking to streamline their operations in the face of a slowdown could be attracted by this. Improved Remote Work Capabilities: UCaaS can help to increase the number of dispersed workers by facilitating effective remote collaboration, as companies seek to cut their operating costs. In regions with high real estate costs, this could be particularly important. Focus on business continuity on Economic downturns may highlight the importance of continuous operation. In uncertain times, UCaaS solutions that guarantee reliable communications and data access may prove to be an appropriate investment. Overall, it is likely that the severity and duration of the economic downturn will determine the impact on the UCaaS market.

Impact of Russia Ukraine war:

Supply chain issues: the production and supply of hardware components needed for UCaaS infrastructure may be affected by sanctions and disruption in Eastern Europe. Cybersecurity threats: Businesses using UCaaS platforms are worried about cyber-attacks targeting them in the wake of heightened geopolitical tensions.

Increased demand for remote work solutions: UCaaS may be used more for remote collaboration and communication by businesses in unstable regions or by workers in Ukraine. Geopolitical Realignment: Companies may shift UCaaS providers away from Russia-based ones, potentially benefiting Western vendors. Economic strain: IT budgets might be reduced and UCaaS adoption slowed down for some businesses, as a result of the worldwide slowdown caused by the war. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates: Companies operating abroad may find it difficult to cope with the impact of currency fluctuations on their UCaaS costs. Overall, there is still much uncertainty as to how the conflict will affect the UCaaS market over the longer term. There are also opportunities for growth in certain sectors, although there could be possible disruptions and uncertainties.

An accurate research report requires proper strategizing as well as implementation. There are multiple factors involved in the completion of good and accurate research report and selecting the best methodology to compete the research is the toughest part. Since the research reports we provide play a crucial role in any company’s decision-making process, therefore we at SNS Insider always believe that we should choose the best method which gives us results closer to reality. This allows us to reach at a stage wherein we can provide our clients best and accurate investment to output ratio.

Each report that we prepare takes a timeframe of 350-400 business hours for production. Starting from the selection of titles through a couple of in-depth brain storming session to the final QC process before uploading our titles on our website we dedicate around 350 working hours. The titles are selected based on their current market cap and the foreseen CAGR and growth.

 

The 5 steps process:

Step 1: Secondary Research:

Secondary Research or Desk Research is as the name suggests is a research process wherein, we collect data through the readily available information. In this process we use various paid and unpaid databases which our team has access to and gather data through the same. This includes examining of listed companies’ annual reports, Journals, SEC filling etc. Apart from this our team has access to various associations across the globe across different industries. Lastly, we have exchange relationships with various university as well as individual libraries.

Secondary Research

Step 2: Primary Research

When we talk about primary research, it is a type of study in which the researchers collect relevant data samples directly, rather than relying on previously collected data.  This type of research is focused on gaining content specific facts that can be sued to solve specific problems. Since the collected data is fresh and first hand therefore it makes the study more accurate and genuine.

We at SNS Insider have divided Primary Research into 2 parts.

Part 1 wherein we interview the KOLs of major players as well as the upcoming ones across various geographic regions. This allows us to have their view over the market scenario and acts as an important tool to come closer to the accurate market numbers. As many as 45 paid and unpaid primary interviews are taken from both the demand and supply side of the industry to make sure we land at an accurate judgement and analysis of the market.

This step involves the triangulation of data wherein our team analyses the interview transcripts, online survey responses and observation of on filed participants. The below mentioned chart should give a better understanding of the part 1 of the primary interview.

Primary Research

Part 2: In this part of primary research the data collected via secondary research and the part 1 of the primary research is validated with the interviews from individual consultants and subject matter experts.

Consultants are those set of people who have at least 12 years of experience and expertise within the industry whereas Subject Matter Experts are those with at least 15 years of experience behind their back within the same space. The data with the help of two main processes i.e., FGDs (Focused Group Discussions) and IDs (Individual Discussions). This gives us a 3rd party nonbiased primary view of the market scenario making it a more dependable one while collation of the data pointers.

Step 3: Data Bank Validation

Once all the information is collected via primary and secondary sources, we run that information for data validation. At our intelligence centre our research heads track a lot of information related to the market which includes the quarterly reports, the daily stock prices, and other relevant information. Our data bank server gets updated every fortnight and that is how the information which we collected using our primary and secondary information is revalidated in real time.

Data Bank Validation

Step 4: QA/QC Process

After all the data collection and validation our team does a final level of quality check and quality assurance to get rid of any unwanted or undesired mistakes. This might include but not limited to getting rid of the any typos, duplication of numbers or missing of any important information. The people involved in this process include technical content writers, research heads and graphics people. Once this process is completed the title gets uploader on our platform for our clients to read it.

Step 5: Final QC/QA Process:

This is the last process and comes when the client has ordered the study. In this process a final QA/QC is done before the study is emailed to the client. Since we believe in giving our clients a good experience of our research studies, therefore, to make sure that we do not lack at our end in any way humanly possible we do a final round of quality check and then dispatch the study to the client.
