Perfectly fit to the needs of SMBs
MZA’s reporting on the global call control market (excluding multi-tenant UCaaS voice solutions) shows that NEC has led all vendors in global shipments in the SMB segment (less than 100 licences) for the last seven years*. With a present market share of 17% as reported over the first half of 2021, NEC is well ahead of all other companies in that segment.
“MZA’s recent report highlights our success as leader in enterprise communications,” said Ram Menghani, President NEC Enterprise Communication Technology. “It is a clear recognition of the strength of our offering and the ability to serve together with our business partners and customers worldwide with excellent solutions and services.”
“A great thank you and c************** goes out to our partners, together with whom we have been able to carve out this excellent market position. Along with attractive pricing, unsurpassed reliability and ease of installation and use, our solutions prove a perfect fit for meeting the needs of SMBs,” comments Marc Hebner, Vice President of Enterprise Division of NEC Corporation of America.
NEC offers a broad range of enterprise communications solutions – ranging from small to very large systems – that effectively support Enterprise and SMB customers whose requirements span from traditional to full IP and 100% software-based solutions, and from premises-based to cloud deployments.
Powerful UCaaS and CCaaS cloud offering
Drawing on its global partnership with Intermedia, a dedicated cloud communications company, NEC’s UNIVERGE BLUE is one of the broadest and most powerful UCaaS and CCaaS cloud offerings available on the market, enabling telephony, video conferencing, collaboration, back up, security, file sharing and more within a single solution. Businesses can benefit from monthly billing and only pay for what they use with full flexibility to scale up as and when required.

Dynamic delivery of cloud solutions in a hybrid model
With the traditional office shrinking and working from home fully accepted, hybrid work and flexible deployment models have become preferred for many businesses. While aligning resources with their present business requirements, they take advantage of cloud solutions that are scalable and open opportunities to integrate new applications. As enterprises shift more workloads to the public cloud, there too remains a strong demand to leverage existing infrastructure.
UNIVERGE BLUE CONNECT BRIDGE extends on-premises business phone systems to the cloud via mobile and desktop applications while also adding chat, video conferencing, file sharing and collaboration capabilities. The result is an integrated, all-in-one, UCaaS offering that affords NEC customers the flexibility to communicate and collaborate from anywhere, extends the life and capabilities of their current NEC phone system, and allows them to keep their existing phones, terminals and phone numbers while migrating gradually as required.
Customer has full choice
As a result, NEC customers can now choose from fully on-premises infrastructure to a 100% public cloud, subscription-based solution and anything in between in a hybrid working model. As NEC covers all bases and offering the full range of choice – on-premises, cloud or hybrid – ensures NEC and its partners can provide what’s best and most suitable for each end customer.
“With our strong foothold in the on-premises call control market and the flexibility we provide customers to add newest cloud services to support their increasingly hybrid workforce, I look forward to prolonging our market leadership for many years to come,” Menghani concludes.
