A recent report just published by the Dell'Oro Group indicates that Voice Over IP adoption in the enterprise marketplace will begin to slow for the first time ever. While this specific metric measures "IP lines for the PBX market", the study does specify that the overall "penetration of VoIP technologies" will also slow as well compared to previous years.
“For 2009, we anticipate a degree of vendor volatility that will cause many customers to stay on the sidelines for a longer period of time than we would expect if downward pressure was coming only from the weakened economy,” commented Alan Weckel, Director at Dell’Oro Group. “Also, as customers look to alleviate budget constraints, IP line growth will slow in the short term, putting additional downward pressure on the market. In the current environment, some customers will hold on to existing analog and digital lines for a longer period of time,” Weckel added.
In addition, the Dell’Oro Group Enterprise Telephony Quarterly Report specifies that the top providers in the Enterprise VoIP arena continue to be Cisco, Avaya and Nortel, based on IP line shipments.
