Unified Communications Industry Consolidation - Lessons Learned from Ericsson Acquisition
Opinion piece by Dorota Oviedo, Research Analyst, Unified Communications and
Collaboration Information & Communication Technologies, Frost & Sullivan

Frost & Sullivan also expects to dominate the competitive landscape in the
near future.
Over the last years, Mitel acquired Inter-Tel, Aastra bought Ericsson's PBX
business,
and NEC purchased Sphere. More recently, privately held Avaya won a stalking
horse
auction for Nortel Enterprise Solutions, while Cisco announced that it will
follow its
previous acquisitions of WebEx, Jabber, and Postpath with that of Tandberg.
Further
industry announcements are anticipated, and are likely to include
non-traditional
telephony players.
