BroadSoft Named Market Leader In VoIP Application Server Market
by Independent Research Firm
Telecom Analyst Firm Cites Depth of Customer Base, Top-Tier
Service Provider Engagements, and Technology Innovation for Market
Leadership Claim
GAITHERSBURG, MD. - January 30, 2006 - BroadSoft®, the
leading provider of VoIP application software, announced today that
it has been named market leader in the VoIP application server market
by Current Analysis. The firm cited BroadSoft as market leader both
in its quarterly corporate assessment of BroadSoft (November 29th,
2005), and its product assessment of the BroadSoft BroadWorks®
platform (January 25, 2006.) According to Current Analysis, "BroadSoft
has generated sufficient momentum in terms of overall deployments,
product innovation, and top-tier customers to merit [the 'market
leader'] moniker."
BroadSoft's customer base, called out as leading the industry,
exceeds 150 service providers and includes more than 1.75 million
licensed users. The company recently added Hanaro and Korea Telecom
to this list which includes Telstra, BellSouth, Verizon, MCI, T-Systems,
PCCW, Primus, SingTel, TDC and Telefonica.
"The next-generation application capabilities of VoIP are
critical for service providers to carve out competitive differentiation
and drive revenues," said Joe McGarvey, principal analyst,
Current Analysis and author of the reports. "While several
competitors in the VoIP application server market can make claims
of leadership in various aspects of the market, BroadSoft's momentum
in terms of high-profile customer deployments and product innovation
merit recognition as the overall market leader at this particular
point in time."
The reports cite the integration of multiple functions into a single
platform as a chief advantage of BroadWorks over competitive offerings.
The company has also increased its client-side capabilities in the
past 12 months with the acquisition of application developer Carbon
Twelve and introduced the BroadWorks Communicator; a Windows-based
softphone. BroadSoft also was the first company to provide a commercially
available IMS-compliant VoIP application server in early 2005.
"BroadSoft is honored to have Current Analysis recognize the
depth of our customer base, technology innovation and strategic
relationships in naming us the VoIP application server market leader,"
said Mike Tessler, president and CEO of BroadSoft. "BroadSoft
is well-positioned to continue our strong growth moving forward
as service providers accelerate their business and residential VoIP
deployments and we further expand our presence worldwide."
