"The enterprise market continues to grow and demand new IP-based telephony technologies," said Jeremy Duke, principal analyst and co-founder of Synergy Research Group. "AudioCodes` technology enables 3Com to provide to enterprises of all sizes IP-based solutions and services that will increase productivity, scale when needed and provide significant cost savings."
