Hardware business to start Shutdown

The move to UcaaS is moving faster then anyone could have pridected

You're saying Mitel joined Ring much like Avaya did? Is there a public article on this?

Nevermind, just found it :-)

Mitel and Avaya are now Ring Central UcaaS

Why not just go to Ring Central directly

Fomr an Avaya standpoint, there are some features that AVaya has now brought into ACO, that can only work on J series phones, and only ACO, not RCO. Avaya sells ACO with Avaya Logos and Avaya development. So now you get Avaya and Ring development on a platform that will move PBX features to RC, and only available from ACO/Avaya...

Mitels was an interesting deal. Mitel sold their Cloud/prem server intellectual property/patents. Mitels offering will just to sell RC, so there is no diofference.

Matt , very interesting. Mitel just gave up on there platform. Very strange indeed. They had a very good UcaaS platform. I don't get it. Is Ring Central that powerful ?

It is...but i dont see Mitels decision to hedge their bets on prem...thery could have done like Avaya or Alcatel, and partnered...rather than sell it all out..

It is mind boggling.

I have and user that I sold Mitel UcaaS with Mitel phone. That were told at the end of contract the Mitel phones will not be supported.

Also I have several Mitel proposals out there and I was W to withdraw them and RC would reprice

Talked with someone at RC. Your above statement may be accurate for now. But guesses are that in the next 12ish month...they should be able to reuse the Mitel sets.

Good to know. What about the Avaya phones
