One of the most important enterprise communications acquisitions in recent memory will be highlighted at a keynote luncheon roundtable at ITEXPO, Thursday, January 21st at 12:00 pm EST.
I am very excited to announce a brand new session at the World's Communications Conference:
Avaya Purchases Nortel Enterprise Assets:
Product Roadmap Implications for Users
A can't miss enterprise/SMB/channel panel discussing the important questions regarding how this major acquisition will affect the current communications landscape and implications for users' assets and plans.

It will be interesting to see what Avaya has to say about this, as I'm still not certain they know about all the Nortel assets and products they acquired. I think we all know what the ultimate road path will be, which is getting everything integrated into an Avaya Aura system. But customers that purchased Nortel selected it over Avaya for a reason, and should continue to use it if they so choose. And if they want to continue to get use out of their Nortel investment while adding new features, they can do so with SaaS-based solutions like OnState - http://www.onstate.com/nortel
