Keep in mind that while going with Cisco is pretty much a full changout from
a TDM system, it may be the best idea as well... Other companies aren't as
IP-savvy. Nortel has come a LONG way with their current IP enabled Meridian
setups. I have been a Meridian tech for a number of years, and played
around with earlier renditions of the IP-enablers (which sucked). Avaya has
some REALLY bright people working for them, but they too try to capitalize
on the meshing of old and new which isn't always the best idea...
So whatever you have currently installed, I would certainly look into
things, but compare it with your network and telephony infrastructures now.
There are different leaders depending on who you ask on any given day, or
which reports you read! As far as out in the field stuff, I run into Cisco
deployments more than anyone else. I run into Avaya in a fairly close
second place. Nortel shows, but isn't as deployed for IP stuff as far as I
have seen.
That's my observations....

Subject: +++OUT OF TOPIC++++Who "owns" the IPT Market?
Hello,
I would like to have your feedback about the IPT market. I know that this is
a Cisco oriented web site but I hope you can leave our passion for the San
Jose giant out of this thread.
Cisco has a key role on the IP Telephony market however when trying to sell
IPT solutions to big customer I see a lot of resistance. I'm not talking
about the "old" telephony guys looking for job security but from the big
wigs that sign checks. The resistance is due to the fact that is financially
speaking difficult for them migrate their current telephony solution like
Avaya, Nortel, Lucent to "IP" without have to thrown away what they
currently have.
So I guess my question is what's the currently marketshare Cisco has in this
IPT Industry and if there's a leader in IPT who that is?
Danke,
Andre
