Happy new FY,avayans. How has it been for you? Did you enjoy it as much as I did? year started with the acquisition of spoken. personally think it’s utter rubbish. The US folks have now a phrase for it: Spoken is Broken. But that’s Avaya for you. Same old same old around acquisitions: from the time of the lousy merger with tenovis,to nortel, radvision,aurix, ITNAV, and now spoken. We are clueless, we have no direction, no strategy, no execution, and no end state. More of the same in FY19. When will we file for C11 again guys?!!? I sure can’t survive a trauma of this magnitude again.

The stock is 18.72 today. Anyone know reason of falling stock?
Some Avaya employees are actually outsourced DXC employees?
DXC employees moving back to Avaya. Whats going on...
Partners are complicated its difficult to press feature 00 etc.... Spirit systems are complex too, my system has been on rotary for years now how do i get touch tone???
I agree Zang is complicated. All other UCaaS solutions are managed by the providers. How many customers or companies are ran by mellinials who do it yourself? Avaya is so out of touch.
If you think Zang is too complicated, you're probably 40+ years old. Literally the only true cloud products at Avaya LOL
Zang is to complicated. You have to be a trained Zang engineer to figure out how to set up an account.
Zang was supposed to be wheel-of-fortune for Avaya. What happened????
Better option is Avaya is bought by Ring
It's all bad for Avaya. They buy anyone and try to sell it into the base and lose credibility in the market. Customer base will abandon them in a heart beat.
They don't have the money to buy ring. Maybe Fuze.
Is avaya planning to acquire Ringcentral?
If you thought the spoken acquisition is a clusterf#@k, give it couple of weeks or months when these clueless tards announce the upcoming “cloud” acquisition. There is a clear determination to bankrupt the company again. Sit and watch. Utter nonesense...
Partners that stuck with Avaya during the bad time are defo regretting that decision.
Partners in US have been financially devastated by Avay. Many promises to hang in there thru C11 and Avaya would pump new business your way once they emerged. From claiming it would be a short C11 to ending up being a year. Almost criminal by Avaya stroking its partners along s---ing the life out of them thru its C11. Very unethical company for many reasons.
Bent strategy execution & bent characters
What is international, what this means
This is happening cause the top dog has zero tech background....has no C level experience....and doesn’t know how to drive sales and business development....just knows how to reduce HC and cut costs. Good luck people, Q3 and Q4 will be very interesting quarters, it will do downhill from there.
Poor stockholders”
All doom and gloom here. I don’t buy this stuff no more
Don’t need to wit for results. US will be down. international flat. Don’t get what ddp is doing, if anything really.....
On another topic, why on earth are we getting back all the execs we let go over last 4 to 5 year. Ed, CM etc etc etc. And why has Mercer been let go...he should have stayed and all existing ec should be shown the door...because on their watch Avaya collapsed
APAC resignations are picking up...good resources will jump ship,,,don’t blame them
When vendors start contemplating to acquire Business Partners expect 1 thing, and 1 thing only: LAYOFFS! The smart dudes behind this are buying themselves some time to keep milking the maintenance installed base...how pathetic
JC=Jesus Christ :))))
Where are the yearly results or when it's going to be declared? That's more important which will show us real value of company and the decision made by JC.
Acquiton of resellers is stupid, it basically says to market we could not hire and attract good sales and delivery people, plain and simple.
What’s this news about acquisition of a partner in the US? Why would we acquire partners?
Total mess...very disappointing
Been a tough year for sure. We have lost good people who resigned, and in the past 2-3 weeks many more who’ve been let go, mainly services sales. Seems this is the only playbook this company has when fail to deliver KPIs and targets: cut heads. JC is reading from KKs’ page.
