Mitel Networks Corporation Company Profile

Mitel Networks believes a company's legacy shouldn't include outdated communications technology. Mitel specializes in network systems used by small and medium-sized businesses primarily in the US to migrate from legacy voice phone systems to Internet-protocol (IP) equipment that handles both voice and data. Mitel also offers software for contact centers, remote access, and messaging. It sells directly and through telecom services providers, distributors, and system integrators. Founder and chairman Terry Matthews controls about 23% of Mitel's voting power while directors Benjamin Ball and Andrew Kowal together control around 42% through private equity firm Francisco Partners. Mitel completed an IPO in 2010.
