Nortel

The Avaya roadmap is to migrate most Nortel telephony solutions (Norstar, Norstar CICS, Norstar MICS, BCM 1000, BCM 400, BCM 50, BCM 450, Option 11, Option 51, 61, 81, the CS 1000, CS 1000B, CS1000E, CS2100), to the avaya latest platforms (Avaya Aura and Avaya IP office) within 1-3 yrs depending on the system. This means there will be new Nortel upgrades available, but only for a limited time (1-3 yrs) on most platforms. Support for most Nortel platforms will continue beyond the end of sale timeframe to allow customers plenty of time to migrate. The Nortel SCS (Software Communication System) aka Nortel SCS 500 will continue in the Avaya Roadmap indefinitely. See this Avaya Roadmap presentation for specifics: Integration Roadmap
