Forrester Market Overview: Hosted Collaboration Services Providers

Sixty-five percent of IT leaders Forrester recently surveyed said they are interested in or already using software-as-a-service (SaaS) for some portion of their collaboration technology portfolio.

This report provides an overview of the market, giving CIOs a sense of the players, their capabilities, and their offerings.
