When combined, these cornerstones represent the foundation from which Synergy Research Group builds its market statistics. The following defines each of these unique cornerstones and the respective value they contribute.

Synergy Research Group Survey Process
Each quarter, Synergy Research Group surveys over 100 Telecom and Networking Equipment manufacturers. The Synergy Research Group surveys request specific product shipment data for units shipped, ports shipped and manufacturer revenue as well as geographic detail for the regions of North America, Europe Middle East Africa (EMEA), Asia/Pacific, Latin America and, in some instances, specific countries. Once the surveys are returned by the Synergy Research Group vendor sample, each analyst reviews the information, analyzes the raw data, and conducts independent industry checks, such as:

• Communicating with vendor customers to verify shipments claims (Service Providers and Enterprises)
• Communicating with distributors, integrators, VARs, and resellers
• Communicating with semiconductor companies who supply components to the vendors
• Analyzing executive comments made on financial earning calls with Wall Street
• Comparing research findings with those of Investment Bankers and Security Analysts

Synergy Research Group has also implemented a Quality Control System that identifies discrepancies and abnormal sequential fluctuations for further analyst review.
