“It Takes A Lot To Be A Leader”
NoJitter.comAccording to an article on NoJitter.com, a leading source of objective analysis for enterprise communications professionals, the “ability to scale horizontally and vertically” is required for a company to get to a “vaunted position” like Mitel, who was a winner in six different Enterprise PBX Customer Satisfaction categories, has:
“While Mitel launched in the 1970s with PBXs and distribution to small customers, its acquisitions of Aastra (2013), which owned the Enterprise division of Ericsson; and ShoreTel (2017), a technology powerhouse run for years by the PBX guru John Combs, forever changed the company’s scalability. Between 2013 and 2017, Mitel became enterprise customer-qualified because Aastra had a worldwide footprint -- required by enterprises -- and big PBXs, as did ShoreTel, whose average customer was twice the size of Mitel’s, according to Eastern Management Group quarterly PBX shipment numbers."
