BROADSOFT SURVEY REVEALS 74 PERCENT OF ENTERPRISES PLAN TO IMPLEMENT CLOUD COMMUNICATIONS IN NEXT TWO YEARS
Enterprises believe
UCaaS addresses their core digital transformation priorities;
improvement in collaboration productivity, customer engagement and IT
effectiveness
GAITHERSBURG, Md., March 6 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A survey by BroadSoft, Inc., now a part of Cisco, and a global market leader in cloud calling, meeting, messaging and contact center software as a service (SaaS), has found that 74% of businesses are planning to adopt cloud UC in the next 24 months.
The findings come from the BroadSoft Cloud Collaboration Survey, a study of more than 1,000 global enterprise IT decision makers (USA, UK, Brazil, Germany, France, Australia and New Zealand) across various sectors.
“Cloud collaboration calling, meetings, messaging and customer care markets are rapidly growing and our partners are well-positioned to meet enterprise concerns and demands identified in the survey for security and reliability, as well as bundled network services and deep mobile integration,” said Michael Tessler, president and chief executive officer, BroadSoft. “Competition is intensifying and timing is critical to bring a complete product offering and effective digital strategies to market within the next 24 months as purchase decisions are made.”
The results make it clear that cloud UC is now a core component of many businesses’ digital transformation strategies. According to respondents, cloud communications solutions provide increased agility with less need for upgrades (78 percent), reduced IT operation efforts (70 percent) and enhanced mobility for remote work communications (69 percent).
The cloud evolution commands an expectation of leading edge technology. IT decision makers rated contextual intelligence and the ability to see all relevant documents and communications history in real time as important (75 percent). Advanced analytics for performance and productivity monitoring (73 percent) and artificial intelligence (62 percent) were also considered important.
To prepare for the transition, it is clear businesses are fundamentally re-evaluating how they buy, today. Respondents have three key demands of their cloud UC solution: integrated and bundled offerings (70 percent), a solid user experience (78 percent) and reliability. Buyers’ key concerns are security (80 percent), control (78 percent) and quality (70 percent).
A recent BroadSoft survey of service providers at BroadSoft Connections 2017 shares additional insights on observations of the cloud communications market and perceived business opportunities.

1,000 Singapore Companies Register With Wantedly For Hiring Purpose
KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 (Bernama) -- Wantedly Inc., Japan’s social recruiting provider has signed 1,000 companies in Singapore within one year after its Singapore launch in March, 2017.
Wantedly, in a statement, said it had also opened new offices in Hong Kong and Germany, and planned to expand to more international markets.
While startups continue to struggle to hire talent, Wantedly stands out from competitors as the platform allows companies to attract passive job seekers based on the company’s vision and brand story.
Wantedly is bringing a refreshing take on the recruitment scene with its dynamic approach to building a fulfilling career based on passion.
The company has introduced a new feature in Singapore, Scout Mail, a direct and personal way for employers to reach talents on the platform.
Scout Mail allows employers to search by education, work experiences, keywords, and get in touch with out-of-network talents directly and share the teams’ purpose.
Launched in February 2012, Wantedly is a social hiring platform that allows companies and talents to meet based on shared mission, vision, and passion, rather than salary and benefits.

Mitsubishi Chemical In Strategic Partnerships For Marketing Zeolite Membranes
KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 (Bernama) -- Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (MCC) has announced strategic partnerships for marketing its zeolite membranes, ZEBREX (TM), for bioethanol production.
The strategic partnerships consist of ICM Inc. (ICM) for North America and Mitsui & Co. Ltd. (Mitsui) for Asia-Pacific and Europe, which will accelerate MCC's business development in the bioethanol market further on a global scale.
MCC, in a statement said as known for engineering expertise in the fuel ethanol market, ICM's technology is used in more than half of ethanol plants in the United States, where the largest bioethanol production is taking place.
The combination of MCC's ZEBREX (TM) dehydration technology and ICM's process integration ability will speed the penetration of the zeolite membranes into the North American market.
Meanwhile, MCC will promote ZEBREX (TM) with Mitsui to bioethanol producers who can take advantage of the technology.
As a result of the partnership, one of the largest bioethanol producers in Europe, Pannonia Ethanol Zrt based in Hungary, has committed to install the world's largest ZEBREX (TM) system.
With the United States and Brazil leading the global market, the use of bioethanol derived from biomass feedstocks such as corn, sugarcane and cassava has been wide-spreading due to its carbon neutrality and potential to reduce greenhouse gas emission.
