LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- By 2017 the world enterprise softphones market is expected to be worth over $217 million, representing unit shipments of over 2.9 million, according to a new report available on companiesandmarkets.com.

Enterprise Softphones: A Global Strategic Business Report
Softphones run through a PC or laptop and allow the user to conduct calls over the internet. The technology represents a convenient and efficient method for communication, particularly when the user is required to input data into a computer, and is therefore becoming increasingly common in call center environments. Softphones also allow users to make overseas calls at a fraction of the cost of a traditional network call.
At present, softphones do not represent a strong threat to mobile communication devices or landlines, but the market is increasing as a result of the growing global interest and availability of VoIP. The competitive nature of the telecommunications industry is forcing down prices, and by incorporating value-added features into their offerings, VoIP operators are attracting residential as well as business customers.
Innovation and technological developments are paramount for gaining competitive edge in the softphones market, and an important new trend is for HD video softphones.
