Avaya and Nortel have separately had a long, rich history that was known for quality. In late 2009, if you were looking for an innovative, solution-driven communications system, chances are you were on one of two roads: Nortel's blue road or Avaya's red road. Recently, Nortel's blue road merged into Avaya's red road to create a single innovative communications solution. Avaya's acquisition further solidifies their leadership in business communications, and makes them even more effective. Now Avaya harnesses the combined expertise to provide the simplest, most advanced open standards-based communication systems in the world.
When Avaya completed the acquisition of Nortel's Enterprise and Government Solutions, some feared and all presumed Nortel's blue road would be closed and traffic would be re-routed to Avaya's red road — they were wrong. Through investigation, due diligence and wise council, Avaya recognized the value of the blue road. Fueled by the emergence of amazing new technology like Avaya Aura, a powerful tool that unifies multi-vendor communication, the innovators at Avaya developed an idea that would ...
... later be introduced as the Avaya/Nortel Enterprise Solutions Integrated Roadmap. This plan allows Avaya to continue building both roads while they complete construction on a superhighway — The Purple Road.
