Unified Communications Magazine 2008 Product of the Year Awards
The editorial staff of Unified Communications magazine is proud to announce this year's crop of Product of the Year awards. TMC's Product of the Year awards have become synonymous
with the highest quality products in the IP communications space. Once annually, our editors survey the vast landscape of products
and services and sift through hundreds of applications in search of those products that should merit consideration when companies find themselves looking for a solution that will help them increase productivity, save money, and improve business processes.
This year's list of award winners contains products and solutions that run the gamut of the Unified Communications market: collaboration tools, routers, softphone apps, enterprise mobility solutions, headsets, development tools, and so on. The vendors offering
these solutions range from upstart newcomers to well established IP communications
giants that are the leading companies in their markets.
The editorial team reviewed the applications, and the resulting list of Unified Communications
magazine Product of the Year award winners represents the first place would-be customers should turn to. The list serves as a starting point for anyone who is interested in the best the market has to offer. But remember, the list is just a starting point. Make sure you do your due diligence. Check out the companies for yourself, ask them for reference customers, and ensure they offer you a future proof roadmap, because if there's one thing we've learned over the years, it's that this market moves fast.
To the recipients of the 2008 Unified Communications magazine Product of the Year award, who have earned this distinction through innovation and commitment to quality, we say congratulations!
