Siemens Enterprise Communications Enter the Leader Quadrant in the Magic Quadrant for Unfied Communications

Demonstrating increasing momentum of the company and market presence, Siemens Enterprise Communications announced it has been named by Gartner, Inc as a Leader in the 2011 Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications (UC). Siemens Enterprise Communications is positioned as a Leader based on the company's completeness of vision and ability to execute.

According to Gartner, the Leader's quadrant "contains vendors selling comprehensive UC suites that are coupled with broad communications and collaboration portfolios and strong technology partnerships. These vendors, and their channel partners, have experience delivering UC to a broad range of enterprise types and into most geographic regions. These vendors are using their solution sets to enter new clients into their client rosters and to expand their footprints in their client bases in new functional areas." To be considered for the Magic Quadrant, UC offerings must address Gartner's six communications areas: voice and telephony, conferencing, messaging, presence and IM, clients and communication applications.

"The Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications clearly reaffirms the market demand for cost-effective, flexible UC technology like products that Siemens Enterprise Communications continues to produce," said Chris Hummel, CMO and President, North America, Siemens Enterprise Communications. "As an early leader in the UC space, Siemens Enterprise Communications has continually pushed to innovate and advance the UC marketplace. By listening to our customers' business needs and increasing our execution capabilities, we have remained an industry leader"
