Thread regarding Avaya layoffs

SURVEY: Please help share what is REAL vs VAPOR

Hello, friends.

There are a lot of comments about real products/solutions vs vapor. Also implication that the solution marketing and "one cloud" marketing may take many liberties.

How about we share and try to understand. Let's follow new CEO's promise for transparency and real promises vs empty promises.

Please use this chain to share. All insight is welcome (partners, customers, alliances, employees, SI/SP's, analysts, etc). Just try to share real insight, not any opinion that is not fact-supported. Also elaboration on MSFT Azure Relationship and how we can best support to drive growth via that strategic partnership. Is there something more that Avaya can do to expand that relationship?

Thank you and Cheers to you all. We are all in this together.

This is sad. Marketing asking for people to provide suggestions on how to do their job on layoff job board.

"I believe the only value Avaya has is in its patents."

Patents that have been licensed to other companies no longer have any value.

This Media Processing Core is Experience Portal rebranded to be some innovative new solution. Nope. It's Experience Portal.
And of course they'd get an award from this publication. I wonder how many of these bogus trade publications will be able to keep going if they lost their monthly payments from Avaya?

The ambiguous, all encompassing OneCloud is just anything and everything Avaya sells, just branded under their aspirational need to be known for Cloud. Also, majority of the people out there talking about OneCloud as if they invented it and it is some radical new technology don't even know that Avaya doesn't "make cloud". Few understand Cloud-Computing vs being a vendor who drives their software to be hosted via a core cloud computing partner. Essentially, anyone who has any level of subscription, Avaya refers to as "OneCloud" client.

I believe the only value Avaya has is in its patents. Its customer base is fake since many of those systems are installed and maintained by third party gray market vendors or have long ago been replaced. Probably the only reason Avaya has survived is it’s big Government base. Unfortunately Avaya missed the cloud opportunity back in 2008 after it scrubbed moving forward with the Nortel technology it acquired for nearly a billion dollars cash. The best thing to do at this juncture is sell what’s left and call it a day.

I know the set up of this site is challenging, yet this string should prove to be most helpful. Thank you for beginning it.
