With 2021 drawing to a close, now is the perfect time to take a look back at the past year and scope out some of the changes that have taken place in world of work, and in the telecommunications industry in particular.
And the big news, from where we’re standing, is the rise of the hybrid workplace.
The concept of hybrid working, where employees split their time between home and office, gained significant traction in 2021, with forward-thinking organisations already understanding that this new paradigm actually represents a golden opportunity to excel.
But how can you stack the “hybrid odds” firmly in your favour?
We at AudioCodes have invested considerable effort in analysing these unprecedented changes, to the point where we’re now ideally placed to help today’s enterprises get ready to meet the exciting business challenges of tomorrow.
Armed with these insights, we’ve been working flat out to create the innovative solutions, products and services that you – our loyal customers and valued partners – need to succeed in the fast-moving global marketplace.
These include:
1
The AudioCodes Live for Microsoft Teams service, to help enterprises rapidly deploy Microsoft Teams telephony to their hybrid-working employees wherever they work from. A simple subscription service that can easily scale on a per user per month basis, providing agility in an ever-changing hybrid business world.
2
The AudioCodes Live Cloud solution, specially designed to help service providers quickly build multi-tenant managed services to connect Microsoft Teams with customers’ existing enterprise telephony infrastructure.

Over the past year, Zoom Phone has also enjoyed substantial growth in the enterprise market thanks to the hybrid working trend. AudioCodes has developed a Zoom Phone collaboration strategy that includes our AudioCodes Live for Zoom Phone service and a selection of Zoom certified devices, such as the C450HD, 445HD and 405HD business phones.

But we haven’t stopped there. Our achievements during 2021 have also been recognised by our peers. Here’s just one example:
|
AudioCodes Ranked Top Vendor for Enterprise SBC Revenues by Omdia – and breaking news is that Omdia have just announced that AudioCodes has maintained this leadership position in enterprise SBCs for Q3 2021. |
And, as always, our products and solutions have spoken for themselves, with the closing of important deals with Altron, Algar, the Bosch Group, Puzzel and Suffolk County Council – and many others.
Stay tuned for plenty more to come in 2022!
In uncertain times like these, focusing on what truly matters is more important than ever. The upcoming Christmas and New Year break gives us the chance to recharge our batteries and spend some much-needed quality time with family and friends.
And because even your favorite AudioCodes authors need to take a vacation occasionally, we’ll be closing the blog until January 2022, when we’ll be back with more of the informative and thought-provoking posts that you quite rightly expect from us.
Be well, keep safe and see you soon!
