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.
