Avaya has completed their acquisition of a large chunk of the Nortel company. The formerly competitive business communication system companies have now been joined together as a result of Nortel's financial collapse and Avaya's desire to continue to grow and become stronger than ever before. Learn about the details of this acquisition so you can get a glimpse at what the future may be for the organizations and their technology.

Specifically, Avaya acquired Nortel Enterprise Solutions, a big piece of the Nortel company as a whole. In this acquisition Avaya has gained much more than just a name to add to their portfolio. They have brought in 6,000 employees from NES, across a wide range of jobs from sales and marketing to engineering and on down the line.

This adds a lot of manpower to the Avaya team, and even a handful of top managers are making the trek as well. The combined knowledge base and talent pool will add a lot of value to Avaya. Avaya has already talked about the importance of having Nortel's existing sales channels, as well as their clients to work with. Their global network will also provide a great deal of value.

With the new employees and the new technology combined, Avaya will now be in a much better place to serve even more industries, and companies of all kinds. Nortel's global positioning and existing infrastructure will allow Avaya to immediately begin competing at an even larger scale than ever before.

Of course, Avaya also gains a much broader product line and portfolio than they had previously. This enables the company to offer more solutions in the present, and then to combine existing technologies into superior solutions in the future. With the expertise of the new employees and the technology they bring into the fold, Avaya is excited about the potential that their new communications systems will have in the future.

Even large companies such as Avaya and Nortel are often forced to narrow their focus on specific market segments or niches where they can best thrive. With the acquisition, for example, Avaya can now spend much more time and effort working with small and medium sized organizations and to delve into industries that they didn't formerly have a presence in.

Much of the technology and market exposure is similar between the two companies, but that will only strength the position of the combined outfit. Where one company had a presence or a product and another didn't, that adds new outlets and a new, wider range of possibilities.

The acquisition of Nortel Enterprise Solutions by Avaya is absolutely huge for the world of business communications systems. Avaya did the right thing by bringing along thousands of their employees and even some of their management. This will help them to immediately take a leap forward in market presence and in available technology. The future will be very bright for Avaya, and for all existing and future clients of the firm as well.
