The company has a track-record of leadership to back up its ambitious goal. According to Williams, it was the largest reseller in Australia and New Zealand for videoconferencing vendor Polycom in 2002 and is now the largest systems integrator and reseller in Asia Pacific for rival company Tandberg. The UC arm of iVision, Unify, was, according to Williams, "relatively small UC provider specialising in IP telephony and unified communications based on Cisco Call Manager, but a Cisco Gold Partner with about 20 very good Cisco engineers." iVision, Williams said, would turn over in excess of $50 million this year, had grown revenues 20 percent in the last financial year and was on target to achieve similar growth this year. The company employs about 100 people. iVision claims to offer five key service areas: consultation, integration, implementation, managed services, network and conferencing hosted service and usage and adoption services. Williams said the move into UC represented the company's third major change of strategy in its 30 year existence. "Before we embarked on this change we road tested it with a number of our customers - all big companies. They all said it made sense. We have been overwhelmed by the customer response."
