iTWire - Avaya buys Traverse Networks for unified comms products

Avaya announced last week that it  was buying Traverse Networks, a vendor of software that enables mobile phone integration with enterprise telephony systems.

Here's what I wrote in a Nemertes impact analysis earlier this month about Cisco's acquisition of Orative (a competitor to Traverse).

It is likely that the remaining independent mobile telephony integration client vendors such as Traverse Networks, FirstHand Technologies,  and OnRelay will seek out new partnerships or become acquisition candidates.  Look for rapid consolidation in this market.

Consolidation happened a bit quicker than I expected.
