We are gonna jump ship to Avaya and see how that goes. We knew it was coming, just now it is confirmed. They definitely have let us down.

If they blow a processor down the road how do I Transfer the license? With that said we are finally trained on and selling our own private label hosted system. Good news is the we are pulling out the Officeserv systems on these deals and will be able to support our existing base without scrambling for parts. I know hosted is not for everyone so we have NEC available to quote out.
