TeleWare which provides business communication solutions
based on IP telephony platforms has been well-placed in the highly influential
Gartner Magic Quadrant report for Unified Communication.
The annual report, conducted by three senior Gartner
analysts, looks at all vendors across the global market and selects the top 14
candidates for inclusion in the matrix.
The selection criterion is based primarily on "Ability to Execute" and
"Completeness of Vision."
Additionally, a vendor must have significant sales, market
and operational presence, demonstrable UC products and an ability to generate
significant interest by leading client market segments.
The report categorises TeleWare as visionary and states:
"Consider this solution if you are interested in a cost-effective and
comprehensive solution."
"This is a major achievement for TeleWare and an independent
validation of our strategy to provide a standards based intelligent
communication platform," comments Mike Blanchard, A/ NZ Managing Director.
"Over the last 2 years, we have expanded past our
traditional UK markets into
Europe and the Asia Pacific region as well as fledgling involvement in North America and we will continue to strengthen our
channel to be able to deliver TeleWare solutions to a larger market as the
demand for UC grows," said Blanchard.
"There is a definite shift towards software based solutions
for delivery of Unified Communication and our roadmap for the coming year is
focused on increasing our level of interoperability and integration with
emerging standard based solutions such as Microsoft Live Communications Service
and Lotus Notes Same Time," said Blanchard.
"Integration with solutions such as Call Manager as well as
Call Manager Express in native SIP builds upon our interoperability in TDM and
first generation IP platforms and supports our ongoing commitment to open
standards to provide our clients with the freedom to deploy UC without
dependence to a particular hardware vendor." He said.
The Magic Quadrant Report for 2006 believes that the UC
market and its technology are maturing rapidly, but overall remain at an early
stage. However, Gartner believes that
many of the ‘early adopter' issues are being ironed out and 2008 is set to be
the year of mainstream adoption.
