Rob explains that the growth within the market is a crucial strength. He provides Patrick with some statistics about the increase in uptake of cloud communication solutions and why that is so encouraging for everyone involved. As well as the boom in cloud UC, collaboration is also becoming more and more prominent and providing a wealth of possibilities for further expansion.
