Siemens Enterprise Communications Enters Leaders Quadrant in the Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications
RESTON, Va., Sept. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Demonstrating increasing momentum of the company and market presence, Siemens Enterprise Communications today announced it has been named by Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in the 2011 Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications (UC). Siemens Enterprise Communications is positioned as a Leader based on the company's completeness of vision and ability to execute.
According to Gartner, the Leader's quadrant "contains vendors selling comprehensive UC suites that are coupled with broad communications and collaboration portfolios and strong technology partnerships. These vendors, and their channel partners, have experience delivering UC to a broad range of enterprise types and into most geographic regions.
