FierceVoIP Honors SPIRIT DSP as One of the "Fierce 15" VoIP Companies of 2005
Atlanta, GA - September 14, 2005 - SPIRIT DSP (www.spiritDSP.com/voip), a leading provider of embedded voice communication software products, announced today that it has been named to FierceVoIP's annual Fierce 15 list. This distinction honors SPIRIT DSP as one of the top 15 VoIP companies for 2005. FierceVoIP, an internationally recognized email newsletter covering the voice over IP and IP telephony markets, evaluated hundreds of privately-held firms based on company vision, revenue potential, quality of deals, strength of technology, partnerships, and competitive market position.
The Fierce 15 celebrates the spirit of being "fierce" - championing innovation and creativity, even in the face of intense competition.
"VoIP has become a vital part of corporate collaboration, as it helps enterprises to achieve better productivity via immediate, cost efficient and high quality voice communications," said John Edwards of FierceVoIP. "SPIRIT DSP, a fierce provider of multi-point voice conferencing engine, enables high quality voice in enterprise collaboration solutions, bringing next-generation VoIP features to business customers."
SPIRIT is now growing to continue being the global #1 multi-point full-duplex voice conferencing engine provider with its flagship product - TeamSpirit® voice conferencing engine. Today SPIRIT celebrates 10 years in global embedded voice software business.
SPIRIT's leadership has been validated by Oracle, the global #1 software servers provider that integrated TeamSpirit® into the latest release of Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g to power the voice functionality in this Oracle server solution for enterprise collaboration and provide the best possible voice quality to Oracle business customers. Another recent deployment of SPIRIT voice products was within Macromedia Breeze 5. SPIRIT software ensures superior voice quality in this Flash-based enterprise communication, conferencing and online collaboration solution. Macromedia Breeze harnesses the ubiquity of Macromedia Flash Player, which today has over 500 million active users, more that both Skype and MSN Messenger users combined, and they can benefit from the best possible enterprise-grade voice quality provided by SPIRIT.
"FierceVoIP is recognized for its advanced understanding of Voice over IP companies and the industry as a whole," said Andrew Sviridenko, SPIRIT's founder and chairman. "Being selected as a member of the Fierce 15 is an honor that highlights SPIRIT's capabilities to make a further significant impact in the VoIP market."
Attendees at the wVoIP 2005 executive summit in San Jose received a sneak preview of the list of winners at a reception held last night. The official list of all 15 winning companies along with the descriptions about what makes them "Fierce" is available in today's special issue of FierceVoIP and on the FierceVoIP Web site at http://www.fiercevoip.com.
