Re: [sipx-users] Nortel Enterprise Sale announcement

[Josh Patten]

I was considering doing the whole licensing/maintenance thing from Nortel when they started marketing SCS but it was massively overpriced when I got it quoted so I couldn't justify the cost. I'm not talking about paid support, I'm just talking about licensing. Also, I stated, "...for anyone who can talk to the team that determines pricing for Avaya's commercial version of sipX..." meaning that I don't have any rapport with any Avaya resellers but instead was suggesting that if someone on the sipX team had contact with someone who developed pricing schemes and/or was involved in developing pricing schemes for the commercial version then that is my two cents on the matter. I never meant to start a flame war or rub the developers the wrong way, simply making a suggestion to any that might be able to control that process. Sorry for the confusion. I seem to be stirring everyone up as of late.

Per extension licensing is reasonable, but licensing anything else within the system (including voicemail accounts) seems a bit disingenuous. I'm no expert in this, but I would expect that this sort of complaint would be handled well if you sent it up the distribution/sales chain toward Avaya. I expect(?) that the sales/distribution/marketing organization pays close attention to what the buyers think of the price structure. Dale
