Avaya Leads U.S. Enterprise Telephony Market for the Fourth Quarter of 200527 February 2006
Avaya Inc., (NYSE: AV) has been named the leader in U.S. Enterprise Telephony for the fourth quarter of 2005 according to InfoTech's InfoTrack for Enterprise Communications, Fourth Quarter 2005 Report. The report is based on analysis of telephony line shipment data provided by participating vendors and is a comprehensive measurement of overall performance in the total U.S. market, including both Internet Protocol (IP) telephony and traditional telephony. Avaya is a leading global provider of business communications applications, systems and services.
With 20 percent of the U.S. Enterprise Telephony market in the fourth quarter and a 2 point lead over the nearest competitor, this is second consecutive quarter Avaya has been named leader in this measure. Strong results in U.S. IP Telephony, with 21 percent of the market, reinforced Avaya's overall U.S. Enterprise Telephony position. As Avaya reported in its fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2005, sales of IP telephony products in the U.S. rose 21 percent over the year ago quarter, and the company shipped its eight millionth IP telephony line worldwide.
"Avaya continues to take advantage of the growth of IP telephony in the U.S.," said Susan Hobart, vice president and senior program director, InfoTech. "Results in both IP and traditional telephony line shipments bolstered Avaya's performance in the InfoTrack analysis, and the company's position reflects the appeal of its solutions in a competitive, expanding business communications market."
"Maintaining leadership for the fourth quarter in U.S. enterprise telephony illustrates Avaya's commitment to helping customers realize the benefits of intelligent communications," said Michael C. Thurk, Avaya senior vice president and president, Global Communications Solutions. "It shows that U.S. customers continue to depend on Avaya for both traditional telephony and IP telephony and are compelled by the results that advanced business communications applications can deliver."
