Frost & Sullivan Awards TANDBERG in Leadership

TANDBERG a provider of telepresence, high-definition video conferencing and mobile video, has been awarded the 2008 Frost & Sullivan Market Leadership Award for achieving leadership positions in both the global video conferencing endpoints market and the global video conferencing infrastructure systems market in 2007.

According to Frost & Sullivan, the award was given to TANDBERG in recognition of its market share in the telepresence and video conferencing industry.

In 2007, TANDBERG revenues reached 630.5 million, growing almost 51% year-over-year.

"TANDBERG has seen impressive top line growth in recent years due to the strength of its technology and sales execution," said Krithi Rao, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan.
"TANDBERG's customers are investing in TANDBERG technology due to its high-quality, ease-of-use and innovative features."

According to Frost & Sullivan, TANDBERG has further strengthened its position in the market through its strategy of selling end-to-end solutions including endpoints, video bridges, and supporting infrastructure. The supporting infrastructure products, including TANDBERG Management Suite (TMS) and Video Communication Server (VCS), are also providing a path into other video conferencing vendors' deployments.

"With the increasing demand for video, the need for scalable infrastructure and open systems that fully interoperate with other communications technology is essential," said Fredrik Halvorsen, TANDBERG CEO.

"Our commitment to deliver quality video communications solutions which enhance an organization's unified communications strategy has been a key driver of our growth."

The Frost & Sullivan Award for Market Leadership is given to the company that has exhibited market share leadership through the implementation of market strategy.
