Each year, Gartner researches and identifies emerging and innovative vendors in key technology areas. The April 15, 2015, Cool Vendors in Unified Communications, 2015 Report states that “Cool Vendors in Unified Communications focuses this year on enhancing the collaboration experiences between employees and with customers, leveraging the emerging standard WebRTC and innovative developments in video, context and the workplace.” 5 vendors were selected for the 2015 report.
