BroadSoft Reaches 100th Customer Milestone
Industry-Leading Tier 1, CLEC, Wholesale and ISP
Wins, Technology Innovations and Channel Partner Relationships Reinforce
Continued VoIP Application Software Market Leadership
GAITHERSBURG, MD - May 16, 2005 - BroadSoft®,
Inc., the leading provider of VoIP application software, today announced
that 100 customers now use its BroadWorks® platform. BroadSoft
is the first company in the VoIP application software market to
reach this important milestone following the addition of 10 new
customers from across the globe in the first quarter of 2005. These
new customers include incumbent carriers and service providers in
Africa, Asia, Australia, North America and Europe.
Underscoring its global industry leadership position, BroadSoft
now counts among its customers 15 Tier 1 carriers worldwide, including
BellSouth, MCI, Singtel and Telstra - three times that of its nearest
competitor. Additionally, BroadWorks is currently deployed by more
than half of the top 20 competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs)
and many leading VoIP service providers, wholesalers and ISPs.
"One of the key metrics for market leadership is a company's customer
base, including the major service providers that will drive migration
to advanced IP communications," said Mark Bieberich, director, Communications
Network Infrastructure, Yankee Group. "In this category, BroadSoft
has set the bar high, capturing many top-tier global carriers and
incumbents, as well as major competitive customers."
BroadSoft continues to set the pace in VoIP applications innovations
in 2005, by shipping the industry's first IP Multimedia Subsystem
(IMS)-compliant platform. IMS allows both wireless and wireline
carriers to deliver the same advanced applications over landline,
mobile or residential broadband networks. In 2005 BroadWorks also
became the first VoIP application platform to provide a solution
to critical IP PBX-hosted VoIP interworking through its joint SIPconnect
initiative with manufacturers and service providers.
"Attaining 100 customers represents an exciting milestone, but
it is the depth and quality of these wins, rather than the quantity,
that solidifies BroadSoft's market leadership position," said Mike
Tessler, president and CEO for BroadSoft Inc. "We intend to build
on this success by continuing to deliver innovative, carrier-class
VoIP application solutions."
