SEN's global market share increases

MANILA, Philippines - Siemens Enterprise Communications (SEN), a premier provider of enterprise communications solutions jointly owned by the Gores Group of the US and Siemens AG, announced that it has captured additional market share globally, as reported by two leading industry analyst firms, while other leading vendors have seen their market shares drop.

The company’s customer-centric approach to delivering true unified communications (UC) that addresses critical business needs has resulted in significant growth.

According to Dell’Oro Group’s 1Q12 Enterprise Telephony Quarterly report, Siemens Enterprise Communications’ voice platforms, including OpenScape Voice, marked two consecutive quarters of consistent growth to capture new global enterprise voice market share, while leading competitors experienced ongoing revenue share loss.

SEN now holds the second place position based on revenue for the first quarter of 2012, moving up from third place in reports. In addition, share of total lines shipped also increased over the previous quarter.

MZA Ltd. also reported strong growth for Siemens Enterprise Communications globally, in its FastView Analysis for the World Corded IP/IP PBX market in Q1 2012.

The report showed SEN with an overall increase in market share driven by 23 percent increase in total lines shipped from the first quarter of 2011 to the first quarter of 2012, while both top global competitors saw declines during that period.

MZA also reported that SEN experienced a 52 percent increase in the number of IP lines shipped in the same period.

This momentum is driven by key customer wins across all geographies with global accounts and large enterprises as well as a reinvigorated channel ecosystem and SMB customer base.

As the communications needs of enterprises continue to evolve, Siemens Enterprise Communications remains focused on delivering innovative, flexible and affordable solutions that address business needs.

“We are gearing up to replicate this growth by bringing the Openscape Suites of Solutions to the doorstep of the customers,” said Rex de Vera, SEN country director and general manager in the Philippines.

“We are positioning to SMEs our HiPath and Openscape Office product lines, as an affordable IP telephony and unified communication,” De Vera said.
