Share:
BOCA RATON, Fla.-- Siemens Networks LLC has been ranked at the top of the latest ABI Research Vendor Matrix. ABI developed the Vendor Matrix as an analytical tool to give clarity and understanding of vendors' positions in the IPTV market. The criteria used to assess individual company's significance and rank was based on two primary categories: innovation and implementation.
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.
