About This Report

The Canadian Voice Mail/Voice Messaging Market Report, 1997 Edition is the fifth and most detailed in NBI’s series of reports on this market. The number of industry participants profiled has been increased and the depth of each profile has been substantially changed to reflect more of the business issues important to each company.

The report contains a discussion of market and technology trends, but most importantly the report captures the dynamic nature of the industry. The report is much more than a 1997 snapshot of a growth industry at a particular point in time. Rather, aspects of it reflect the many changes, amalgamations, mergers, corporate transformations, product announcements and development delays as they were occurring. Some of these changes are highlighted as they pertain to the shape and the ultimate nature of the business direction in which the companies are heading.

In total, there are qualitative and quantitative profiles of 17 different manufacturers and distributors. In addition, there are analyses of three organizations in the voice information services market sector. The 24 separate exhibits quantify the market and compare the various manufacturers along the dimensions which include: system and port shipments; end-user revenues; installed base; and segmentation by system size, region and distribution channel.

The information contained in the report is the product of extensive primary research. Principal sources include interviews with manufacturers, distributors and service providers.
