>Big Box PBXs are just going to be dumb Switches. They already are ;). What's really changing in our industry is the barrier to entry. It doesn't cost $100M to compete with AT&T anymore; anyone can do it with $20 and an AWS account. That is going to bring transformative change and companies that can't respond will die (this cycle happens about once a generation in telecom and results in industry consolidation). Avaya is funny; those HP Pro Curves worked fine but paying 2x markup for the Avaya brand name never made sense to me. This is the classic innovator's paradox. Companies like Avaya can either be Motorola or Lenovo; and today I'd rather be Lenovo by a wide margin. Wake up and change it up or face the consequences.
