There is a power struggle at Inter-Tel. I find this surprising as from where I stand the company is running better than ever. I haven’t been digging into the financials mind you but they are rolling out new products that are doing well and are doing a great PR job.
Still, it is possible that Inter-Tel will go private as a result of this struggle. It is also possible that it will be acquired. In my opinion going private will be good for the company as it will allow Inter-Tel the flexibility to focus on long-term growth and not short-term earnings. In addition the Sarbanes Oxley tax is quite a burden on companies and anything that can reduce a company’s distraction-level is likely good for their customers and the bottom line.

My how the sands of time change the way that everything appears. Here we are in August of 2007 looking at Inter-Tel as part of the Mitel Group. The question now is how Mitel will treat the jewel they have just acquired.
