Our products, applications and services help organizations of all sizes boost their productivity, effi ciency
and competitiveness by integrating their communications systems. For instance, our market-leading
HiPath 8000 platform for very large enterprises implements a software-based solution instead of the
proprietary hardware found in conventional telephone networks, which is often diffi cult to maintain and
integrate.
Headquartered in Munich, Siemens Enterprise Communications GmbH & Co. KG was established as a
wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens AG in October 2006. Leveraging our OpenPath strategy, more than
15,000 SEN employees in 80 countries are helping companies make the business-aligned, low-risk trans-
formation to seamlessly interoperable video, telephone and data solutions. Based on our Open Commu-
nications architecture, our innovative, secure and fl exible solutions can be readily integrated into exist-
ing infrastructures. A unifi ed communications landscape accelerates an organization’s decision-making
processes and enhances teamwork.
We aim to play an active role in the ongoing consolidation process now taking place in the enterprise
communications sector. To ensure our long-term business success, we’re engaging in intensive discus-
sions with potential partners.
