This market insight is an update for the Indian Web conferencing market for the second half of 2014. The Indian Web conferencing market continues to prefer the adoption of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions; this research analyzes market trends, vendor performance, and market splits for India. The market segment covered in this study is Web conferencing services, which include SaaS and on-premise software. The study covers large enterprises and Small and Medium Businesses (SMB); verticals covered include government, information technology (IT), IT-enabled services, banking, financial services, insurance, media, telecom, services, and manufacturing and distribution.

Web conferences are defined as online meetings that allow people to hold real-time, synchronous meetings and conferences over the Internet.

In order to hold a Web conference, each participant will need to use a personal computer and a Web browser to interact and share information.

The most basic feature of a Web conference is screen sharing, whereby conference participants can see content on the presenter's screen.

Audio communication in a Web conference can be set up either through a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) or Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP).

Typical features of Web conferencing include desktop sharing, application sharing, Web co-browsing, file transfers, chat, white boarding and annotation, polls and surveys, and Webcam-based desktop video.

The availability of free conferencing solutions are putting pressure on prices and license sales. This pressure makes prices more affordable and attractive for Small and Mid-sized Businesses (SMBs) to adopt video solutions and also helps drive the market in the medium to long terms.

Web conferencing as a service continues to witness higher adoption than on-premise software, as hosted Unified Communications (UC) services are expected to become mainstream, particularly among large enterprises. Furthermore, growth is expected to continue to be steady - especially for the SaaS mode of deployment. In addition, enterprises are investing in cloud-based UC services and this trend is expected to continue in the future.
