Market Observations
Looking Forward – Q4 2014 & 2015 The hosted PBX and UC market is projected to reach $13 billion in 2020 with 62.6 million seats in service¹
‒ BroadSoft alone has surpassed 10 million deployed business lines for its primary hosted UC product²
Hosted IP telephony and UCC services will reach 18.2% penetration of total business telephony users in North America by 2020³
‒ Between 2013 and 2020 market growth will hold steady with compound annual growth rates of 27.4% in terms of installed users³
Though voice services are the largest component of the UC bundle, the ability to offer contact center, UC applications and other managed services is key to gaining market share and limiting churn
» Contact Center:
‒ Contact center demand is greatest for multichannel solutions that allow scalability and real time mobile / social interactions
‒ The global cloud-based contact center market will grow to more than $10 billion in 2019
The need to offer incremental cloud computing capabilities and managed services is increasing as traditional voice services become commoditized

» Managed Security:
‒ According to a survey of over 100 CIOs, IT security is the top spending priority for 2015
‒ Organizations seek an optimal balance between protection and cost reduction in network security solutions

Recent M&A Trends and Activity—Differentiated Platform & APIs
The most important trend in UCaaS is the adoption of APIs—and the related plug-ins, connectors, and software development kits (SDKs)—to integrate UCaaS with a cross section of IT services1
‒ UCaaS providers often support a core set of UC services and then tie-in with other vendors for additional capabilities
APIs enable UCaaS users to "plug and play" UCaaS with the "best-of-breed" IT applications
Source: (1) Gartner
Fully integrated proprietary components can enhance value, even without a proprietary core platform
‒ The ability to create a “proprietary solution” through integration of cloud UC platform into other embedded enterprise solutions drives valuation premiums
Application Programming Interfaces
Proprietary Technology & Solutions
10
Evolution of Cloud UC—Cloud Communications to Cloud Computing
Enterprises and SMEs prefer “one back to pat” for all of their IT, data and communications needs, including cloud services
‒ Significant demand and opportunity to create a bundled solution of traditional communications services combined with a robust suite of advanced cloud services
Traditional voice and data combined with additional cloud-based services such as storage and backup
‒ Over the top solutions are gaining traction
Positive value impact seen in the market from additional exposure to cloud services through acquisitions
‒ Vonage, Mitel, NTT, Windstream, West, CenturyLink and ShoreTel experienced positive stock price impact after cloud acquisitions
Emerging unified communications technologies are experiencing rapid uptake and are redefining the Cloud UC market, shifting focus from cloud communications to cloud computing
“You can expect that you will see more competition and price compression as the market becomes more
saturated and that's one of the reasons why we did this small acquisition of gUnify this past month. What
gUnify is a cloud-to-cloud piece of connected tissue that forward integrates with business applications that are
part of your workflow like Google for work, salesforce, and Office365. As we can embed our solution through
something like gUnify into the existing business applications that run your business every day, that gives us
more and more of a differentiated solution.” Alan Masarek, Vonage CEO, on competition and differentiation

What’s Next—Cloud Contact Center
Growth in cloud contact center
‒ 8x8, RNG, West and others looking for cloud contact center solutions with multichannel routing, powerful integration and greater flexibility and scalability
‒ Why?
BroadSoft platform is not as well-equipped for large scale enterprise deployments and can be costly for smaller deployments
Huge demand and need for cloud contact center
Technology is rapidly moving to the cloud due to cost and workflow efficiencies
‒ Hosted and hybrid solutions

Key Takeaways
Continual cloud adoption for both SMBs and Enterprise markets is driven by both those new to cloud services and companies investing in greater functionality
‒ Enterprise computing and data storage held in the cloud is forecasted to more than double over the next decade¹
Proprietary technology drives greater value
‒ Integrated proprietary “solutions” increase valuation potential to a lesser extent than proprietary platforms, but still drive meaningful value premiums
Bigger is better: Greater capabilities, greater appeal
‒ Convergence of traditional service providers all seeking to be a single source solution
The emergence of market leaders to occur over coming year as market consolidation continues
‒ A once highly fragmented market is now divided between large and small providers, with acquisitions furthering the division
Companies with the ability to provide the following on a unified platform have a distinct market advantage moving into the second half of 2015 and beyond:
‒ Cloud Computing
‒ Unified Communications
‒ Key Individual Differentiators:
Managed Network
Managed Security
Hosted Contact Center
Customized cloud deployments
Social and mobile integration
