Avaya Responds to Verizon Motion

Avaya has issued a statement in response to the claims Verizon made in its motion opposing the sale of Nortel Enterprise to Avaya:

Avaya is committed to providing current and future customers of Avaya with the highest levels of service and support as we pursue the acquisition of Nortel Enterprise Solutions. Avaya is engaged in discussions with Verizon to attempt to negotiate suitable arrangements for the assumption of the contracts referenced in Verizon's motion filed September 9, 2009. Avaya continues to believe that the acquisition of Nortel's Enterprise Solutions unit by Avaya will deliver significant value for customers and other stakeholders of both companies.
