The grapevine has it that VoIP and Unified Communication vendor, Avaya has readied to sell all or part of the company. The rumor has further heaped on with reports adding that leading companies like Nortel, Cisco, Oracle and Microsoft all are lined up to acquire it.
Microsoft sees prospect in Avaya because the software giant has prepared a blueprint for its VoIP business by launching its Unified Communication portfolio. At the same time, Oracle, Nortel and Cisco have also top priorities in the areas of unified communication.
However, Avaya has not commented on buyouts saying that they are not running after rumors. The speculation appeared following Merrill Lynchs indication that the company is perfect buyout target.
Previously, Avaya was owned by the old AT&T. The company was closed down in 2002 due to financial problems. At that time, Avaya was developing phone systems. Then, it entered into VoIP bandwagon by launching innovative products and solutions for the business customers.
