First of all if you asked people here on TR, Im not surprised. I toe to toe more than I toe the line, who cares?
As for credibility, you can't possibly claim superior credibility to someone whom you have never met or spoken with, that's just stupid to even claim.
As for winning, I didn't realize there was a prize, I certainly wouldn't have wasted time with you if there was TR swag on the line. (no there is no real TR swag, we got mugs a couple of years ago but that's gone now).
As for name calling, you kill me, WHAT name calling?
As for 'establishing credibility', don't make me laugh, this is the internet!
Most people here know that I've lived in the telecom world for a long time now and have worked with some of the largest manufacturer's out there, that's why I get emails from peers here asking for help with various systems.
Believe me, I am not worried about someone else fighting for a chunk of THAT pie!
But hey, get back into mom's basement, fire up the kiddie chat rooms and have yourself a blast. I'm sure they'll all buy into your credibility dreams too. Anyone who actually knows telecom (or any other technology), would laugh at the thought of a VAR giving 'industry advice'. You know YOUR product, or at least what the rep told you about it,but it's hardly a testiment to knowing an industry, in fact it's the opposite. You would naturally hold a single minded and very biased, uninformed opinion. That's why technology reviews and CREDIBLE opinions are from a non-biased sources, not from a particular products sales rep. Then again, they don't seem to know any better, do they?
I know from first hand experience, and from laughing with the competitors that Cisco was trying to topple, that Cisco has miles to go before making a worthwhile telephone system that the real players do not bat an eye. Cisco, yay they managed to route IP, but they just don't understand business telecom and cal management. Ever seen the Cisco CDAR? Laughing stock! Our local telco beats that junk. Accountants hate the reports, management can't get accounting to decipher them.
So what? Who cares about CDAR?
Business that buy business telephone systems. There's more to life than placing a call for free, you can pass that onto Cisco too.
Avaya, managed to suck in many, just as they did you, to beliving they were the same old Avaya from Lucent days. It works on some, I see, but not those who simply know better from experience. That was the hardest part of the breakup, 'tossing out', how would Lucent remain separate from Avaya, if Avaya was allowed to keep the name. Won some lawsuits and lost some, so there they are having people such as yourself believing they are one and the same. No wonder Lucent tried to battle it.
P.S. If you are so savvy, why not even mention Nitsuko?
They had very stable VoIP before most others did, before they merged of course.
Nitsuko, can you say Nitsuko? Actually I'd be surprised if you could. (ooops, I suppose that's what someone like you would call 'name calling' right?)
LOL! Duh, ooookay baws! :D
P.S. I also asked a few people, real folk not pretend people on the internet, and they thought you were a moron, does that therefore make you a moron? Maybe by your standards. Well done, you just look dumber and dumber with each keystroke.
the list of reasons why Cisco fails just flew at me too fast for typing. But hey, it doesn't matter, you've been sold and that's all there is to it.
Next time try to research for yourself, don't only buy into what YOUR company is telling you, half is bull and the other half is s**t.
