While the market share of leader RingCentral has held steady at around 20%, it is the rapid growth of Microsoft and Zoom that have driven the increased growth rate. Their market shares were almost negligible in 2019, but in 2020 the Microsoft subscriber base quickly grew to over a million with Zoom about to achieve the same milestone. As the market jumped by 41%, Microsoft and Zoom share of that growing market increased by almost ten percentage points during 2020. The other leading UCaaS vendors – 8x8, Mitel and Cisco – all saw strong double-digit subscriber growth in the year, but each lost market share as their increase in scale lagged overall market growth. Expanding subscriber bases at Fuze and LogMeIn were broadly in line with the overall market. While RingCentral is the leader in all segments from SMB through to large enterprise, Microsoft strength is primarily in the mid-market and Zoom is doing well in large enterprises.]]>UCaaS GrowthUCaaS 2020https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/04/30/2220324/0/en/Amazon-and-Microsoft-Maintain-their-Grip-on-the-Market-but-Others-are-also-Growing-Rapidly.html?f=22&fvtc=4&fvtv=31406Amazon and Microsoft Maintain their Grip on the Market but Others are also Growing Rapidly2021-04-30T00:51:33Z<![CDATA[RENO, Nev., April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New data from Synergy Research Group shows that Q1 enterprise spending on cloud infrastructure services was in excess of $39 billion, having increased by well over $2 billion from the previous quarter and up 37% from the first quarter of 2020.

Beyond Amazon and Microsoft, top twelve players whose growth rates surpassed overall market growth are Alibaba, Google, Tencent and Baidu. The top twelve ranking is rounded out by IBM, Salesforce, Oracle, NTT, SAP and Fujitsu. All can be considered to have somewhat specialized, niche positions in the market compared to the biggest cloud providers.]]>Cloud Infrastructure Services GrowthCloud Services Q1 2021https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2020/12/16/2146382/0/en/Microsoft-and-Zoom-Help-to-Drive-Increased-UCaaS-Market-Growth-Rate.html?f=22&fvtc=4&fvtv=31406Microsoft and Zoom Help to Drive Increased UCaaS Market Growth Rate2020-12-16T15:46:57Z<![CDATA[RENO, Nev., Dec. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New data from Synergy Research Group shows that worldwide UCaaS revenues grew by 30% in the third quarter, marking the fourth consecutive quarter in which the year-on-year growth rate has increased.
