Avaya, Cisco Contribute to Unified Communications Market Growth in Third Quarter: Report

In the recently released Group Enterprise Telephony Quarterly Report, Dell'Oro Group reported that the Unified Communications (News - Alert) market grew in the third quarter of 2009. More than 70 percent of the reported vendors contributed to the market’s quarterly growth.


The top two Unified Communications vendors, Avaya and Cisco, have each posted double digit revenue gains over the second quarter of 2009. According to Alan Weckel, Director at Dell’ (News - Alert)Oro Group, the second half of the year is typically stronger for the Enterprise Voice market, and the third quarter of this year was no exception for the Unified Communications segment.


Weckel said that even though vendors were expected to experience strong fiscal year-end results in the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2010, Dell’Oro Group did not expect vendors’ fiscal year-ends to be as strong as they were prior to 2008.

The report said that IP Phones grew 10 percent during the quarter with contributions from all IP Phone (News - Alert) segments. These include IP conference, IP desk, IP soft, and IP WLAN phones. Although third-party IP desk phones continue to gain traction, the top eight IP desk phone vendors continue to be the top eight PBX vendors as well. These eight vendors are Aastra, Alcatel-Lucent, Avaya, Cisco (News - Alert), Mitel, NEC, Nortel, and Siemens.
