Product: SWYXWARE
SwyxWare is an IP-PBX application turning a standard Microsoft Windows server into a full-featured PBX, voicemail and conference server. Designed primarily for the SMB enterprise markets, SwyxWare is scalable from 5 to beyond 1000 users. Open standards compliance, true voice/data application convergence and an uncompromising IP architecture have been key design targets. The product offers all features of high-end PBX systems as well as ACD, CTI, UMS and call center functionalities. Its SIP-trunking capability makes SwyxWare the only full featured “software-only, downloadable PBX.” Communication cost savings, self administration, fl exibility and its value as a productivity enhancement tool have been key decision arguments for more than 3000 SwyxWare enterprise customers.
Market Opportunity:
Competing primarily against traditional PBX manufacturers defending their legacy PBX market shares with “me-too” IP-PBX solutions, Swyx has all the advantages of a fresh starter with a disruptive technology in a quickly changing communications world. Focusing on European SMB enterprises offers Swyx the opportunity to become a major player in the new enterprise IP-telephony markets. With the current and accelerating VoIP acceptance, Swyx expects to be able to get a 8-10% market share of the European IP-PBX markets growing from 400 million to above 3bn over the next 5 years.
