Abstract
This IDC study highlights the results of the fourth annual Enterprise VoIP Survey conducted by IDC in conjunction with InfoWorld magazine. Completed in June 2007, this was a Web-based survey of readers of InfoWorld, all of whom were located in the United States. This study focuses on the results from questions about the current status of respondents' telephony equipment and which solutions U.S. enterprises are planning to install over the next 12 months.
"Despite the technology evolution of IP telephony solutions offered today, our survey data shows that IP telephony penetration among U.S. enterprises is still limited in terms of depth of deployment, the vendors considered, and the location of telephony equipment," states Nora Freedman, senior analyst, Enterprise Networks.
