OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Mitel® (Nasdaq:MITL) (TSX:MNW), a global leader in business communications, announced today that independent research firm Synergy Research Group has confirmed its position as the #2 unified communications as a service (UCaaS) vendor worldwide, coming within one percentage point of the #1 market share position based on subscribers. This news is another major milestone in Mitel's rapid emergence as a global UCaaS company. In the third quarter of 2017, Mitel also reached the one million subscriber mark for worldwide cloud subscribers.
"In today's cloud-driven world, offering communications on an as-a-service basis has never been more important or relevant," said Mitel CEO Rich McBee.

This recognition is an extraordinary way to close a transformational year for Mitel."
Mitel provides organizations of all sizes with cloud communications solutions combined with productivity and team collaboration applications, enabling businesses to work more effectively and better serve their customers. This recognition from Synergy further validates Mitel's global transition and execution to a cloud-based business strategy for its customers.

Mitel is clearly dedicated to giving its customers a consistent experience across all devices, which has resulted in a seamless progression of our communications as we've expanded to support our specific organizational needs."
