Unify: The new Siemens Enterprise Communications

MANILA, Philippines - Built on a successful heritage of nearly 170 years of innovation and formerly known as Siemens Enterprise Communications, a new company was introduced last Oct. 15 as Unify, one of the world’s leading communications software and services firms.

Unify has set out to change the way companies communicate and collaborate, helping them spend less time orchestrating work and more time doing it.

The Unify brand and vision were revealed at events in Munich and New York City and on a live global webcast.

“Unify is uniquely positioned to lead our customers and the industry toward the emergence of a new way to work that will transform how enterprises communicate and collaborate, where technology will amplify the collective effort of information workers, energize teams and processes, and enhance business performance,” said Hamid Akhavan, CEO of Unify. 

“Our Siemens history is rich and the connection to our heritage as market innovators remains strong. Our new brand brings to life our vision, backed by dedicated employees around the world, a strong partner community, and an unwavering commitment to help our customers and more than 45 million users find positive returns on their technology investments. Our customers are incredible, our history is enviable, and our future as Unify is unstoppable,” Akhavan added.

Unify’s brand launch included a two-hour Web-streamed broadcast of original content. The Munich event was held in front of more than 1,000 Unify employees and guests and was connected to a Unify social media command center in New York City. 

Unify employees gathered at nearly 60 different offices in 33 countries around the world to view the broadcast and celebrate the company’s new brand unveiling.

Unify — formerly known as Siemens Enterprise Communications — is one of the world’s leading communications software and services firms. 

Unify GmbH & Co. KG. Is a joint venture of the Gores Group and Siemens AG.
