Cisco continues to dominate worldwide in Enterprise Voice, Telepresence, and Web Conferencing. For Contact Center, Cisco has given up some market share while Avaya grew market share. However, collectively across Enterprise Voice, Telepresence, Web Conferencing, and Contact Center, Avaya continues to lose market share. Interesting to note that when Microsoft added MSFT Lync for IM and presence, they actually captured some market share.
