Siemens Tops Microsoft In IPTV Market
According to the most recent report from ABI Research, Siemens leads Microsoft in the worldwide market for IPTV right now, but the race has just begun. ABI just finished up a recent analysis of middleware vendors and found that Siemens was ahead of Microsoft in terms of bundling a broader set of technologies.
Siemens has been ranked at the top of the latest ABI Research Vendor Matrix.
Microsoft Corporation and Alcatel claimed the second and third spots in the company’s most recent evaluation of worldwide IPTV network middleware vendors.
The Vendor Matrix is an analytical tool developed by ABI Research to provide a clear understanding of vendors’ positions in specific markets.
Vendors are assessed by ABI Research on the important parameters of “innovation” and “implementation” across several criteria.
For this particular matrix, under “innovation,” ABI Research examined breadth of services/functions supported by the company’s solution, its interoperability with other solutions, the company’s technology partners, and the scalability of the solution.
Under “implementation,” ABI Research scrutinized the following criteria: the strength of the company’s customer base, brand identification, sales channels, regional/key market diversity, and its ability to package the solution in a broader end-to-end offering.
