Paetec Buys Allworx

October 12, 2007

I am at the train station heading to Manhattan and just learned Paetec is buying Allworx. Two things come to mind. Paetec has become a major communications company this past year with their interesting acquisition strategy.

The second thought is that Allworx is on a tear and the communications market is abuzz with how well they are doing. This move allows Paetec access to a larger reseller channel which is likely over 500 strong by now and it also gives the company better access to SMB customers.

Allworx benefits from having deeper pockets to draw on when courting international customers.

Going to New York

October 12, 2007
I've got some meetings in New York today. Yesterday was the rainiest day in recent memory. I wonder if the city is still flooded. A friend was traveling on a bus in Connecticut last night ands the bus encountered a flood in the street. The water entered the bus and came up to the knees of the passengers!
