What are Avayas financial and market situations?
While Avaya has had some rocky years since its spinoff from Lucent, the firm is in good shape financially and in terms of competitive positioning. The VoIP vendor made $5.2 billion in revenue and $220 million in profits in its last fiscal year, and is worth $6.2 billion overall. Depending on how you slice the market, Avaya is the leader in overall enterprise telephony and enterprise IP telephony products and services revenue — which combines TDM, IP-based, and hybrid business phone equipment, software and services — ahead of rivals Cisco and Nortel. (Although Cisco is the leader in enterprise IP telephony equipment sales).
