The race to make Communications and Collaboration smart and automated.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aragon Research, Inc., a leading technology research and advisory firm, today released its Aragon Research Globe for Intelligent Unified Communications and Collaboration (iUC&C), 2026. The report identifies the key players and highlights a profound transformation of the Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C) market, moving beyond integrated messaging, voice, and video to become a central hub for intelligent automation.

This evolution is fundamentally driven by the maturation of generative AI and the urgent enterprise need to enhance productivity by automating routine tasks. With AI agents now emerging as active participants in business workflows, the unified iUC&C platform has become a strategic necessity.

"We are entering an era of a new, hybrid workforce where both AI agents and humans collaborate within a single, integrated platform to get work done," said Jim Lundy, CEO and Lead Analyst at Aragon Research. "The primary implication for enterprises is that the UC&C platform has become a strategic asset for communication and collaboration. Selecting a provider now requires a deeper analysis of their AI roadmap and their platform's ability to support a growing ecosystem of specialized agents."
