Dave Hattey who has done a great job leading 3COM\u2019s VoIP initiatives for years \u2013 and has spoken at TMC events in the past, has made the switch to SIPquest. The two companies are partners so they were familiar with each other before Hattey moved. I am not sure who may be taking his spot but Brian Allain just joined 3COM and could be the person who fills Hattey\u2019s shoes. Allain has been in VoIP since the mid nineties and launched Avaya\u2019s (Lucent at the time) foray into the IP PBX market . This is speculation so far and I am looking into the details now.<\/p>\n
