Mitel took top spot for market share during Q1 2014 in Western Europe and EMEA according to analyst firm MZA.
Significant market share strength in several core European countries, including the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden and Switzerland, combined with a solid first quarter performance in North America also enabled the company to take share and move into the #3 position for the IP Extensions market on a worldwide basis, and the #4 position for the total PBX Extensions market globally.
"The most recent quarter results (Q1 2014) showed Mitel achieving the #1 market share position for the total PBX/IP-PBX Extensions market in both Western Europe and EMEA." said Stephanie Watson, General Manager, MZA.
"Looking at it through the lens of the North American market where IP Extensions account for the majority of shipments, Mitel's share story is also stronger with the company holding the #3 position behind only Cisco and Avaya."
In a competitive and consolidating market, Mitel has not only reaffirmed its dominance in key markets but also firmly established brand position in new and developing regions as a result of enhanced product diversity and depth.
Rich McBee, President and CEO Mitel, added: "Mitel's Q1 share gains have highlighted the ability of the entire Mitel team to execute and deliver in the first quarter out of the gate since our merger with Aastra.
"Most importantly, however, our market leadership is a direct reflection of the confidence that our channel partners and customers have in the new Mitel, our expanded portfolio - both premise and cloud - and our ability to address the market needs for businesses of all sizes."
