Frost & Sullivan has published numbers that show Avaya led the local IP Telephony market in Q1 with a 21.9% market share.
The results were contained in Frost & Sullivan’s “Strategic Analysis of the Asia Pacific Enterprise Telephony Market - 2005 Quarterly Tracker”.
"The IP Telephony market in Australia is extremely competitive and Avaya's achievement of becoming the number one IP Telephony vendor in Q1 2005 is a testament to their focus on providing a strong value proposition in recent quarters.” said Foad Fadaghi, Research Director for Frost & Sullivan’s Australian ICT research group.
In Australia, Avaya has implemented IP Telephony solutions for a number of leading companies such as St George Bank, Sensis and IAG. The company claims substantial cost savings from its solutions through a focus on server consolidation and resource pooling, yielding acquisition savings of 30 to 35 per cent and lowered maintenance and support costs by 12 to 15 per cent. The advanced logic and intelligent routing provided by IPT solutions also provides greater efficiency levels while delivering 3 to 5 per cent in operational savings, says Avaya.
“Today, forward-thinking and technologically savvy companies are using Avaya technology to gain a competitive edge and to build a communications foundation for future growth. We have been working with enterprises in Australia to offer robust and high-performance IP solutions,” said Carlton Taya, Managing Director of Avaya South Pacific.
“Australian companies are traditionally early adopters of technology and our success in helping and supporting customers to enable IP Telephony and business communications applications will continue to drive our market leadership."
Avaya recently reported healthy increases to its fiscal results for the corresponding period with global earnings of US$194 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2005, a substantial increase year on year from US$58 million. Revenue increased 21.7 percent to US$1.236 billion, compared to revenue of US$1.016 billion in the year ago equivalent.
The positive results allowed the company to retire “substantially” all its outstanding debt and repurchase 5.6 million shares of its common stock.
Wins for the quarter included an IP Telephony Contact Center Solution for VoIP provider Vonage, deals with Nokia and Research In Motion to extend Avaya secure enterprise communications applications to the BlackBerry.
