Avaya vs Nokia

Avaya Inc. is an American multinational technology company headquartered in Santa Clara, California that provides multi-channel business communication solutions for customer & team engagement. Avaya currently services more than 95% of the Fortune 500 organizations- Asia Pacific; Caribbean, Latin America; Europe, Middle East & Africa; Middle East & Africa and United States and Canada. In 1995, the company that would become Avaya was a part of Lucent Technologies. Before that it had been a part of AT&T.

The company currently focuses on large-scale telecommunications infrastructures, technology development and licensing, and online mapping services. Nokia is also a significant contributor to the mobile telephony industry, having assisted in development of the GSM and LTE standards, and was, for a period, the largest vendor of mobile phones in the world. Nokia's dominance also extended into the smartphone industry through its Symbian platform, but it was soon overshadowed by the growing dominance of Apple's iPhone line and Android devices. Nokia eventually entered into a pact with Microsoft in 2011 to exclusively use its Windows Phone platform on future smartphones.
