2nd pillar (Collaboration):
The communications services industry has gone through multiple phases of evolution over the last decade & now stands at a point where hybrid models coming up to provide customizable plug & play solutions for every org. needs.
UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) is a cloud based enterprise communication platform supported by telephony, meetings, messages, mobility & communication enabled features
10/🧵
UC-aaS
"UC" integrates many communications (phone, chat, video conferencing) & provides ways to interact across diff. channels
“aaS” is a delivery model for cloud service & software. Unlike Software as a Service (SaaS), UCaaS is exclusive to communication tools & APIs.
11/🧵
UCaaS advantages: 1. Lower cost than an on-premises PBX 2. Superior employee mobility 3. Enhanced team collaboration 4. Greater reliability and scalability 5. Higher overall productivity 6. Consolidated tech stack
12/🧵
Huge Potential:
The unified communications market has grown at 25% CAGR. Some analysts expect the UCaaS market to surge past $100 billion by 2024, often at the downfall of on-premises phone systems.
It is Cloud based platform for omni-channel communications on the software layer which can be accessed via APIs along with developer integration to build custom services as per the needs (configurable).

16/🧵 #TataCommunications addressable CPaaS market is ~$44B by 2024 (CAGR~14%). Though yet to fully launch.
Key Competitors: Route Mobile, Gupshup etc.
But attached is Q2FY22 con-call snippet about advantage it will have wrt competitors.
17/🧵
3rd Piller i.e. "Cloud, Security & SD-WAN"
Its 'IZO Cloud' platform & services help to build an agile IT ecosystem with hybrid multi-cloud environments, security and network.
It is expected that CLOUD AND HOSTING (INDIA) market size will ~$6.8B by 2024 (CAGR: 24%)
So last post was assuming we all know basic of basic of Cloud, its evolution and models i.e. IaaS, PaaS, SaaS ......and XaaS (Everything as a Service).
19/🧵
Next comes in this 3rd Piller is 'Security'. And we know very importance of robust security system in Digital Transformation.
We heard many times about leakage of private data, attack/hacking of website/cloud etc.
Infact with time, security system also evolved manifold.
20/🧵
Tata Communications' Manage Security System (MSS) - Delivering Connected Security from Cloud to Edge
21/🧵
MSS (Focus Market) size is expected to grow ~$15.5 B by 2024 (i.e. CAGR of ~8%) and present good opportunity for Tata Communications to not only increase the market size but also bundling of products portfolio.
22/🧵
Infact the world of MSS is changing rapidly, expanding with Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services
MDR, a combination of technology & human res. includes Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine learning (ML), behavioral analytics, Reactive to Proactive protection etc
23/🧵
AI and ML are critical areas of growth for next-generation MSSPs.
-The first reason is that threat actors are actively leveraging AI and ML to target organizations and find massive data sets of personally identifiable information (PII).
24/🧵
-Secondly, without real-time security analytics and management through the use of AI and ML, organizations are unable to obtain contextual, meaningful insights in their security posture as they grapple with an ever-increasing volume of alerts.
25/🧵
So, AI & ML help accelerate response, reducing the time it takes to complete an investigation from days to just a few minutes.
AI & ML-powered detection & response can leverage data & insights from previous attacks to help identify similar characteristics in new threats.
26/🧵
And how #TataCommunications taking this challenge? Well by 'managing the complexity and simplifying security' :)
Attached is reply from Investor con-call, Jun-2021.

Will now move to last part of this 3rd Piller i.e. SD-WAN.
So again, let's understand the WAN & SD-WAN concept briefly.
In its simplest form, a wide-area network (WAN) is a collection of local-area networks (LANs) or other networks that communicate with one another.
28/🧵
A WAN is essentially a network of networks, with the Internet the world's largest WAN.
Today, there are several types of WANs, built for a variety of use cases like from emails and conference calls to data sharing and dedicated server networks etc.
29/🧵
As WANs are so expansive, modern organizations have been eager for a more optimized version of a WAN connection.
So improved version of WAN is SD-WAN (Software-Defined WAN).
SD-WAN) is an approach for making WAN architectures easier to deploy, operate, and manage.
30/🧵
SD-WANs have a software overlay for connection provisioning & management. This software contains all the connection, security and network info. It increases data-transfer efficiencies across a WAN by moving traffic to lower-cost network links (dynamically managing traffic)
