  • What vertical markets represent the best opportunity for business value apps?
  • What is the best model for supporting 3rd party apps that offer business value?

What is the purchase decision process for IP Telephony and how does in vary across different market segments and product/service offers?

  • What are the most important purchase decision criteria for IP Telephony systems?
  • What is the preferred bundled offer of Hosted IPT services for SMBs versus enterprises?
  • Who actually makes the decision for IPT systems vs. services vs. converged apps?

Which segments of the market offer the best revenue opportunity for IP Telephony systems vs. services vs. converged applications?

  • Which segments of the installed base have the highest IPT penetration and which have the lowest, and what is the size of the unpenetrated segments?
  • To what extent are IPT-based software and services revenue projected to grow faster and exceed the revenue associated with IPT hardware?
