Cue the collective whimper of submission symbolizing them other telecoms.

90,000/9 ten years ago wasn't all that, but, buddy, 30,000/9 sees the hiring ratio increased threefold. 30% is a bad number when Cisco uses it by sucking that much more juice from all nations' power grids than their conscientiously leading competitor, Nortel.

I'd replace the cocky “This is old-school Nortel stuff” pitch with “Avaya recognized its value to customers and decided to support this product and its ongoing evolution together. We, Avaya employees, stand behind our Avaya products.”
————————————-
Yes, agreed.. well isn't this exactly what did happen? Whether it was a prudent move by Avaya remains to be seen, but they certainly do intend to bring value and build on a future ~ a new concept for Nortel employees , current and ex, to contemplate.. if they so choose.

Call me cynical but I don't see much value in sales touting “she's still a Chrysler under the hood” either.

I'm curious as to how sales intends to justify them should a scant few of these new but already-proven-superior Nortel products handle like, say, Windows Vista by Microsoft, the recognized global leader in OS?

Will they wax nostaglic, blaming inferior namebrands Avaya, Ciena, etc. for diluting their Nortel product, for lacking the expertise to evolve it and therefore jealously treating it like a bastard stepchild? Surely not.

In the documentary “By the People: The Election of Barack Obama ” there is a long close-up on a Nortel phone.

Best the Nortel marketing folks have no idea.
