Unify – formerly Siemens Enterprise Communications – is cutting its workforce in half to focus on software over hardware.
The vendor is slashing 3,800 jobs from its global headcount of nearly 7,700. 
Central Europe will be the worst hit, accounting for 50 percent of the cuts, according to a statement from the company.
“This transformation is designed to enable Unify to measurably improve the productivity of customers through software solutions and services, an enhanced partner approach, and a significantly streamlined organisation,” read the statement.
The unified communications vendor will focus on “innovation in software development, integration and managed services”.
“These plans will entail a restructuring of the company worldwide, a shift to a multi-tier go-to-market approach, and the consolidation of sites around the globe. This also includes a review of the future location of the global headquarters.”
