Through the third quarter, in a rapidly growing market, Avaya held on as the revenue leader in enterprise Internet Protocol (IP) telephony, with Cisco right on its tail.
The calculations were included in the “3Q 2007 Enterprise Voice Market Shares Report” from Synergy Research Group.
Synergy Research calculated that Avaya led with 28 percent of the IP Telephony market, the largest quarterly share the company has achieved in this segment. That puts the company two points ahead of Cisco.
Following Avaya and Cisco were Nortel and Alcatel-Lucent.
“This industry is now running on all cylinders,” said Jeremy Duke, president and CEO of Synergy Research.
“When measuring against the same time last year, our latest figures show an increase of 23 percent in overall industry IP revenues. Avaya grew its IP revenues by 27 percent, demonstrating that in a highly competitive market, Avaya has been successful in bringing leading IP telephony products to market.”
