Whitepaper by Frost & Sullivan, Inc: Monetizing UC for an Enterprise SaaS Value Added Service
A good client design can be fundamental in increasing the uptake of UC by both consumer and enterprise users. But there are more challenges service providers are facing with offering UC in the SaaS model.

Whitepaper by The Radicati Group, Inc: Unified Communications as a Software as a Service (SaaS) Opportunity
Up until recently, UC was available only at a hefty price tag, mostly to very large companies willing to uproot their existing infrastructures, and invest heavily in new products, services, and IT resources to implement a UC solution. Fortunately this is changing rapidly, thanks to SaaS offerings accessible to businesses of all sizes.
