Enterprise Telephony PBX Market Revenue Declines in 2Q13 as Emerging Markets Contract, According to Dell'Oro GroupREDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- According to a recent report by Dell'Oro Group, the trusted source for information about the telecommunications and networking industries, the Enterprise Telephony PBX market declined and the Unified Communications market modestly grew in 2Q13. Revenues were impacted by seasonality and a fairly strong pullback in spending in the emerging markets of Asia and Latin America.

"We believe customers are increasingly looking towards Cloud/Hosted voice solutions as they attempt to move towards an OPEX model for spending. Now network infrastructure is extremely robust and bandwidth is ample, both the explosion of broadband data and advances in SIP trunking has also eased customers concerns. If you look at 8x8, RingCentral, and Shoretel's acquisition of M5, combined they experienced growth in excess of 15% compared to 2Q12," stated Weckel. According to the report vendors also continue to migrate their installed base over to IP Lines. Although the process may take another decade to complete, the top eight vendors--Aastra, Alcatel-Lucent, Avaya, Cisco, Mitel, NEC, Shoretel, and Siemens--accounted for 80% of IP Line shipments during the quarter.
