CEO
Looking forwardWelcome to a unified world.
On October 15, 2013, we became a new company.
Unify, formerly Siemens Enterprise Communications,
is a global communications software and services
company. Our new name reflects perfectly what
we do: we unify our customers’ communications systems.
By synchronizing technologies, creating an engaging user
experience and weaving communications seamlessly into
the way businesses operate, we empower an increasingly
mobile workforce to work better together. The result is a
transformation of how the enterprise communicates and
collaborates that amplifies collective effort, energizes
the business and drives better performance.
Born out of the engineering DNA of Siemens AG, Unify
builds on a heritage of product reliability, innovation,
open standards and security to provide integrated
communications and networking solutions for
approximately 75% of the Fortune Global 500. With the
introduction of Project Ansible, Unify is leading the
market with its vision of a dynamic communications and
collaboration platform. You—our customers—and our
industry have responded resoundingly affirmatively.
We have enjoyed serving you as Siemens Enterprise
Communications. We look forward to serving you even
better as Unify.

mixed capitalizations in their logos with sheer abandon,
