Avaya to buy Nortel
« on: July 21, 2009, 09:07:37 AM »
Who would have thunk it? 
Nortel announced yesterday that they have reached an agreement with Avaya to sell their enterprise division to them.   This would include all the PBX/keysystems etc.
$675 Million US.

The type of agreement allows for others to come up with a better bid so it's not quite a done deal yet but they are expecting to close the deal by end of year.

Nortel has a pretty big customer base as does Avaya.   Together they'll be huge.    I've heard a rumor that Avaya may just fire everybody Nortel but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me.   I would expect to see a rather deep house cleaning.

But in any case, it's good to be with Mitel just now.

I put a Nortel Contingency Plans check list up on one of my sites.
It's geared toward Nortel customers but would work pretty well for other customers too.

  Good stuff Ralph - more than a checklist - more a list of things for management types to think about as things go forward....

   Thanks!
