So what happened ?
If you go public at $14.00 per share (less than you wanted too) and a few month’s later your trading at $8.50 per share , you have to ask what happened?
Jim Cramer says too much debt and insider shareholders?
The company has great distribution worldwide, great products and services , so who knows
It may be just a sign of the times!

any thoughts or comments ?
How much longer can I maintain my SX-2000 network?
June 9th, 2009Here’s the dilema!
Sure your equipment is a bit old (10 years +) But it still works (Thank You Mitel and Terry Matthews for building great gear!)
Add the fact the world recession has made new capital purchases a bit tough if not impossible, and I think the answer is clear:
Sit tight, The problem is the parts are harder to get and the tech’s who support the products are either retiring or getting fired!
Our research has shown most Telecom managers are looking for large nationwide partners who can support the older gear with on-site SLA’s and also have the capabilities to migrate them to the converged world when they are ready!
That criteria narrows the field of potential system intergrators a bit, but we have contracted with several of them, hundreds of techs,great NOC’s and great prices.
So if your looking at keeping the Voice Network going for a few more years and want to kick a few tires just give us a shout at info@mitelservice.com and we will point you in the right direction.
The good news is typical annual service costs can be reduced between 25-40% as the cost of refurb parts is passed on to you the customer.
So stand your ground and keep your equipment and service costs low with a new service partner!
Any Thoughts from the Mitel community?
How can I reduce my Service costs for both voice and data?
May 4th, 2009Today every IT or Telecom manager has the real issue of doing more with less, headcount and budget reductions have left most mangers with their plates full, and their budgets empty..
In today’s converged world many companies are bidding out the costs for both the traditional voice (PBX/Voice Mail) systems as well as their data (lan/wan) smartnet type contracts with one vendor.
Do you have to have 2 vendors or more that you currently do business with ?, in a world of social networking, LinkedIn,Twitter and VOIP groups all over the place, you can find a better and cheaper way to run your operation..
The answer varies from client to client but more often than not these days, a telecom manager can find one company who is certified on many products and can offer turn key solutions,with only one neck to choke! (only kidding) and one service number to call, as well as one tracking system etc, you can save time and money (typical savings are 20-40%) on annual costs.
Buying power! peace of mind ! and less finger pointing!
So take a look and you may like what you find out ,
Comments please?
What do I do with my aging Voice Mail System?
January 21st, 2009Ok, You have high tech TV, High tech cellular phones, Your moving to VOIP this year, but what do you do with the wonderful Voice mail system you have had for 100 years, It’s like an old friend, you know it’s time but your not sure what to do!
sound familiar
My advice is shop around, If your Octel or Centigram system’s are getting old, it may be cheaper to replace them than to continue paying high service costs, Many companies offer similar TUI’s that make the change easier, AVST can help Octel user’s move on with similar commands, so do your homework, shop around and say hello to the next generation messaging systems!

Video Security using VOIP
November 3rd, 2008True convergence allows for Voice/Data/Video, but what are the requirements and costs?
Ask your vendor to give you some information as well as costs, If your using a Mitel 3300 system running romote teleworking , then it is very easy to connect the camera’s and DVR from your office (offices) and have remote access.
So if you are an owner of several retail stores, you can look at the stores real time and see what the DVR is recording, The keys are having the VPN tunnel and enough bandwidth (Fios or cable modem)
But if you have security camera’s and employee’s, it is a nice feature to add, It may even lower your insurance costs.
Good Luck!
Service Contracts “Take a look”
October 3rd, 2008We all look for ways to cut costs in today’s tough business climate, Have you reviewed your service contracts lately?
In the world of telephone systems, voice mail, data, lan and wan routers and switches you need to examine the total costs, not just annual service contracts but T&M(time and material)costs.
Are you spending too much ? Can you reduce the number of contracts as well as cost ?
Ask you vendor for a discount, get a few competitive quotes, are you paying for trunks (dial tone) that you don’t use, (fax #’s etc) get your phone company to give you an inventory..
Even if you keep everything status quo you will be better off for paying attention to your business bottom line.
Every dollar you can save will add up over time.
“VOIP” Is it time ?
October 2nd, 2008The word VOIP (voice over internet protocol) means different things to different people, talking over the internet via skype has been around for quite a while, ask a college student. QOS (quality of service) was always an issue, but not today, it’s much better with compression and encryption using VPN tunnels, so yes Virginia there is a santa Claus named “Mitel teleworker” and it can save you time and money and create some very happy telecommuting employees.
What say you in the mitel and Inter-tel world?
let us hear your thoughts!
