Frost & Sullivan Selects Teliris as Recipient of 2007 Market Leadership Award
Industry Innovator Recognized for its Global Leadership in the Telepresence Market and Largest Market Share
LONDON, July 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Frost & Sullivan, a global growth consulting company, announced today that Teliris, the leading full-service provider of telepresence solutions, has been selected as the recipient of the 2007 Global Award for Market Leadership in the telepresence industry. This influential award recognizes Teliris for holding the largest global market share of customer telepresence solutions at 44 percent. The award also commends the company's ongoing achievements in marketing, strategy development, revenue growth, and technology innovations.
Teliris, which was founded in 2001, deploys a broad range of virtual collaboration solutions ranging from its VirtuaLive(TM) Unified offering, the most immersive telepresence environment available in the market to VirtuaLive(TM) Modular, the first and most cost-effective system that is designed to easily fit within a company's existing conference rooms. All Teliris solutions provide an uncompromised natural meeting experience and include its unique end-to-end managed service and support.
"Teliris has made such significant achievements in pioneering the development of both the technical and global market for telepresence solutions, that we would be remiss not to recognize their leadership in this area," said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Dominic Dodd. "We aggressively researched the telepresence space and all of its competitors and found Teliris to have the largest paying customer base globally that includes a long list of blue chip clients, such as GlaxoSmithKline, Nokia, UBS, Merck, Lazard, Royal Bank of Scotland, Pearson and the New York Stock Exchange with systems located throughout Europe, North/South America and Asia."
"Teliris has always set the standard for the telepresence industry and we are thrilled that such a highly regarded firm such as Frost & Sullivan has recognized our successes," said Marc Trachtenberg, Teliris CEO and co-founder. "Our goal is to extend our capabilities for our current and future customers - enabling a growing number of remote colleagues to participate in a truly immersive virtual meeting environment. The launch of the Teliris Telepresence Gateway, the first interconnectivity platform, is one primary way we are accomplishing this goal."
Teliris VirtuaLive(TM) is also the first telepresence solution to be certified by The CarbonNeutral Company, thus offering a means for businesses to reduce their carbon emissions. This strand of the company's marketing strategy plays to the growing awareness of climate change and the need of businesses to proactively demonstrate corporate social responsibility.
