By 2017, the Enterprise Softphone market is predicted to reach a value of over $200 million and account for nearly 3 million units in volume sales. An immense figure indeed, which has been powered and pushed forward solely by the ever growing pervasiveness of Voip networks.
But what is is this 'Softphone' of which i hear you speak? Well, in its simplest terms it is not actually a phone at all - but can be thought of as being a piece of software which enables you to turn your computer into a phone and make calls via your internet connection.
And if thats not crazy enough for you then youll be pleased to know that Softphones can come in a variety of different formats from a USB phone - which looks and feels like a real phone but connects to your computer's USB - to a simple microphone and headset arrangement.
Although Softphones are not as yet an application to pose any serious threat to the use of desktop or mobile phones, their continued growth - in particular in the enterprise space - has been sizeable and consistent.
The enterprise workspace includes call centres - an area where Softphone rise is nothing short of phenomenal - where the advantages offered, such as the opportunity to remove all wired hardware requirements along with drastically increasing mobility, are just too great to overlook.
Another key factor in the rise of popularity is the rise in the mobile worker population which demands for mobile workers to be able to stay in touch with headquarters whilst out of the office. This has given rise to a new wave of enterprise mobility where organisations can allow their mobile employees to access the companies resources through remote access points via their Softphones.
At present, the latest findings published in the New Market Research Report on Enterprise Softphones show that although the US represents the largest regional market, Asia-Pacific is by far the fastest growing market in terms of both volume sales and revenue, growing at a rate of more than 19% & 13% respectively.
But all of this is by the by as the majority of consumers and businesses much prefer the use of a more conventional looking and operating phone upon which to conduct their business. And regardless of what your phone based preferences may be, remember that without a good quality service provider, everything else is irrelevant.
