Cisco and Microsoft: Clash of the UC titans
ENT News | at | by Mike
Who's on top in the red-hot unified communications segment? That depends on how you define "top." According to market watcher Infonetics Research, both Cisco Systems Inc. and Microsoft are tops, overall, in the UC space, with Avaya and Nortel also coming on strong. In fact, buyers say that Cisco and Microsoft are their preferred Unified Messaging and Communicator suppliers.
But the struggle is just beginning, Infonetics said, and no single vendor has an ineradicable purchase on UC market leadership.
