Is Avaya winding up its hardware sales to spearhead in VoIP software business? We raise this question noticing Avayas new initiatives in the software line in recent months.

According to this source, the US-based telecom giant is now trying to create its recognition as software firm, rather than a hardware seller.

Allan Mendelson, senior marketing manger at Avayas unified communication has made a statement that the company has decided to shut down the hardware business and operate as software-oriented company.

It is not surprising to see Avayas software ambition after reaching a vital agreement with Google and making its VoIP software compatible with IBMs Lotus application suite and Microsoft Exchange. At the same time, we should not also overlook its recent upgradation to Communication Manager 4.0.
