The convergence of cloud environments is happening at an incredible pace in today’s digitally-transforming landscape. We’re seeing a rising demand for single-pane-of-glass environments where hybrid and distributed teams can find all the support, knowledge, and tools they need in one space.
After all, disconnected tools can become problematic as companies continue to move more of their processes into the cloud for consistency, agility, and business continuity. The more gaps between the communication tools in your company, the more likely your team will struggle with information silos and data issues.
Fortunately, many innovative vendors in the communication space are working on bringing multiple “as a service” solutions together. Here are some of the top vendors fusing UCaaS and CCaaS in 2022.

Microsoft
In recent years, Microsoft has become one of the most popular communication and collaboration tools vendors in the digital market. With more than 270 million monthly users, “Teams” is emerging as the ultimate hub for the age of hybrid work. With this ecosystem, companies can empower their employees with innovative productivity tools, video conferencing and file sharing, all in the same place.
What makes Microsoft such an innovator in the UCaaS/CCaaS space is its ability to work alongside other communication partners through Direct Routing and Operator Connect. These tools allow users to bring their services for communications into Teams, for both the internal team and the contact centre. With Microsoft, you can essentially build the perfect communication stack from scratch.
Mitel is a pioneering company in the communications space, offering everything from sensational professional services to powerful communication tools. Within the Mitel ecosystem, you can find the “MiCloud” environment, which provides a flexible platform for connecting and aligning multiple communication tools.
