Dubai, UAE - Avaya, a global leader in business communications systems, software and services, today announced it has received Frost & Sullivan's 2008 Global Market Leadership Award in the Audio Conferencing Bridge Market. The honor is based on Avaya's dominant position in shipments and leading market share in revenue. This marks the second year in a row that Avaya has held the leadership position in this space.
The Frost & Sullivan leadership awards is based on the consulting firm's recent reports, which analyze market drivers, restraints, competitive issues, growth opportunities and key vendors for the global audio conferencing bridge market.
