jmarcwsp1,
What enhancements would you like to see on the MiVo-250?
As far as the EOL for the MiVO-250 I believe that is a long way off still. Originally when Mitel bought out Inter-Tel, original designers of the 5000, there were rumors that it had a 10-year lifespan on Mitel's roadmap. I believe that they have seen the error of their ways and why Inter-Tel was kicking their ass in sales within certain markets worldwide.
In my opinion as long as there are VARs with capable designers and programmers the MiVO-250 will continue to be the star of sales within most markets due to its capabilities and price point. I think that Mitel is trying to get some of that market for the 3300 with its new MiCloud services, but I also think that it will only grab a small percentage of that market for now.
In the end as long as there is a demand for a product it will continue to be offered, but whether or not Mitel continues to improve it would depend on factors that are somewhat out of our control. My plan for now is to get the information out there on what the MiVO-250 is capable of and how it can improve its users efficiency and efficacy in handling their daily communications. The more people know on how to design and program the platform to take advantage of everything it can do the more it will be sold and that demand will keep Mitel producing, at the least, more units for sale and hopefully better capabilities along with it.
Thanks,
TE
