WebRTC is an emerging standard that enables real-time voice, video and data sharing in a web browser without the need for browser plugins. Potentially billions of devices supporting a browser – PCs, laptops, smartphones, tablets and a host of new devices – from a variety of manufacturers will be real-time communications-enabled. This report is designed to provide CIOs and decision makers with the right balance of depth and breadth to help them understand what WebRTC can do for them as well as what it can do to them.
“WebRTC may prove to be as disruptive to communications and collaboration as the World Wide Web was for information,” said Dr. E. Brent Kelly. “The transformative power behind WebRTC is that ordinary web developers using JavaScript APIs can craft fully functioning voice, video and data collaboration applications or embed these capabilities within other applications with just a few lines of code.”
This report fits into Constellation’s business-focused research themes: The Future of Work, Consumerization of IT, Technology Optimization, and Next Gen Customer Engagement.
