Hosted Unified Communication: What is it? Who offers it?

Hosted Unified Communications is hot! Or so they say. But what it actually means is up for debate. We have our opinion of what it is and we will get to sharing it very publicly later this summer.

In the meantime, there's lots of media covering the topic as a result of some research recently done by a few firms. Here are some stats...

According to Khali Henderson in a Phone+ article, Wainhouse Research puts annual revenue for Hosted UC at $200 million today and $5 billion in 2014.

Henderson states that "UC, at a base level must include three elements - telephony, messaging and presence - integrated into a single interface".

Does anyone offer that?

Do you know of provider who claims they do that?

Are you using a HOSTED service that does that?

We want to know.
