Gartner’s newest Unified Communications Magic Quadrant shows Microsoft strongly positioned in the “Leaders” quadrant, while Cisco has slipped from its 2006 “Leader” position into the “Challengers” quadrant for 2007.
The respective write-ups emphasize the strengths of our software-centric approach vs. the limitations of Cisco’s network-centric approach. Our ICA partner Nortel is also in the “Leaders” quadrant, based heavily on their shared vision of UC.
I’d show you the chart itself in this blog entry but I’m hearing that Gartner doesn’t want that and that you’ll need to visit their page in order to see the Magic Quandrant. So here is Gartner’s latest Magic Quadrant for Unified Communications in it’s entirety.
