"Lifesize thinks that in 2019, video will evolve from being a benefit for business teams to a necessity. “It will be a must-have for almost any business to stay relevant. This means that video conferencing will move from being a bonus feature or an option to a requirement for getting business done with affiliates and remote employees. From virtual home tours in real estate to automatic translation on multi-language calls, new capabilities will emerge in the next year that cement video conferencing’s value.”

" . . . that’s because almost half of huddle spaces have little to no collaboration technology. And eight out of 10 users say they are frustrated with current huddle space collaboration solutions. In many cases department managers are buying solutions for their teams, typically on a tight budget and from a variety of vendors. The result is a poor and inconsistent experience for team members and a challenge for IT to manage and scale huddle solutions across the enterprise. These challenges create barriers to growth and adoption.”
