RENO, NV--(Marketwire - February 23, 2010) - Synergy Research Group announces the publication of Q4 2009 and YE 2009 market shares. The worldwide market for Enterprise Voice totaled just under $10 billion for full year 2009. Year over year, the market fell over 25 percent; however the second half of 2009 showed solid improvement across all voice segments with network upgrades providing positive momentum. With the challenging economic environment some vendors fared better than others navigating through increased competition and tightened customer spending.
IP Telephony (IPT) continues to be the fastest growing segment of the Enterprise Voice market -- which includes IP-only and Converged IP/TDM PBX phone systems and IP Phones. In 2009, IPT represented nearly 70 percent of the total Telephony market, with the remainder comprised of the legacy markets of PBXs and KTS.
Market share gains in 2009 were difficult at best with 9 vendors gaining share and 7 vendors losing.
