Wainhouse Research's Rich Media Conferencing is our flagship market research report series available as an annual subscription program or on a per volume basis.

The annual subscription program is designed to help market managers, product planners, and technical management keep abreast of the rapidly changing markets, technologies, and applications in audio and video conferencing, multimedia communications, and web-based conferencing and collaboration.

Researched in late 2005, the core volumes are grounded on market data obtained from vendor and end user surveys. For 2006, a separate chapter has been added with updated market sizing and 5-year forecasts. All volumes include:
  • An executive summary (available below);
  • Year in review;
  • Technology and standards overview;
  • Key vendor strategies and our analysis;
  • Current year market sizing by industry segment;
  • Our detailed five year forecast by industry segment (updated through 2010); and
  • An appendix containing product matrices and the results of our user survey.
