Despite moderated growth in the post-pandemic years, AI is helping drive revenue growth - as is the need to connect the complete workforce with conferencing. Features that augment meetings, including asynchronous video, visual collaboration and whiteboarding, team canvasses, AI summaries, translations, and transcriptions, continue to reinforce conferencing applications as the default meeting place."The new knowledge worker is any connected worker - even with their own device. That often starts with today's more robust conferencing applications," according to Wayne Kurtzman, research vice president, IDC's Social, Communities, and Collaboration practice. "AI translation, transcription, and summarization are more commonplace and help AI gain more robust content with context. In addition to AI's integration to work apps, the world is becoming more connected, more visual, more interesting, and much more engaging. This is only the start of conferencing's next evolution."
