Telepo is now rated as promising, improving on last year’s position.

Telepo CEO Lars Wahlström said: “Gartner is a very important voice within the IT industry and it is good for Telepo that it has recognised the great strides we have made over the last year. In that time, we have secured our first tier one ‘telco’ service provider, TeliaSonera, as a channel partner and we believe we have one of the best unified communications solutions on the market. Enterprises are looking for business systems, like Telepo’s, that take advantage of cloud computing and offer SaaS.
