Tony Shen, president of Aastra, said: "Aastra is 100 per cent focused on enterprise communications. We are well positioned as a leading enterprise communications player. This acquisition will spearhead a transformation for the business, extending our footprint globally to include emerging markets where we believe there is a significant growth opportunity for Enteprise Communications. "
"While other industry players are struggling, Aastra has had a decade of consecutive profitable quarters. Furthermore, we have been through a number of acquisitions over the years so we know how to manage the process effectively - the next year is going to be very exciting for us as we continue to grow."
