Mitel Networks Corporation

"We are a leading provider of integrated communications solutions focused on the SME market. We also have a strong and growing presence in the large enterprise market with a portfolio of products that supports up to 65,000 users. Our IP-based communications solutions consist of a combination of IP telephony platforms, which we deliver as software, appliances and desktop devices, and a suite of UCC applications that integrate voice, video and data communications with business applications. We refer to these IP telephony platforms and UCC applications as integrated communications solutions, because they meet our customers’ specific communications needs. We believe that our solutions, which can include associated managed and network services, enable our customers to realize significant cost benefits and to conduct their business more effectively.

We have delivered innovative communications solutions to our customers for over 35 years. Over the past decade, we have made a significant investment in developing our IP-based communications solutions and transitioning our distribution channels to take advantage of the industry’s shift from legacy systems to IP-based solutions, including UCC applications. Our research and development has produced a global portfolio of over 1,200 patents and pending applications, and provides us with the expertise to anticipate market trends and meet the current and future needs of our customers. As part of our business strategy, we acquired Inter-Tel in August 2007, which significantly enhanced our ability to target SME customers with our IP solutions by expanding our U.S. distribution and managed service capabilities. Today, we have a direct and indirect distribution channel, which addresses the needs of customers in 90 countries through our 80 offices and more than 1,600 channel partners worldwide. We also differentiate our solutions and enhance our channels to market through strategic relationships with innovative technology partners.

Since the introduction of our IP-based systems in 1999, we have shipped more than 120,000 IP-based appliances to support the communications needs of over 6.6 million users. Our solutions are scalable, flexible and easy to deploy, manage and use. We have designed our appliances to allow access to our solutions from mobile devices. Our solutions interoperate with various systems supplied by other vendors, which allows our customers to preserve their existing communications investments and gives them the flexibility to choose the solutions that best meet their particular needs. We also offer our customers the flexibility of an end-to-end solution, in which our appliances and applications are integrated with our managed services (including a combination of leasing, design and field services) and network services (including voice and data connectivity, long distance and hosted applications)."
