Mitel bought ShoerTel yesterday. I looked around for news coverage of it, and beyond the news announcement being largely rewritten, only two insightful pieces came out. The best was from a sales channel partner of both, Matrix, and the other came from analyst Zeus Kerravala. Given I wasn't briefed by either company, I'll reserve my thoughts on the why, the what and the when. Instead I'll comment on what I can deduce, and welcome the opportunity to talk to both companies CEOs.
I'm trying to figure out how this impacts Broadsoft as this is a merger of two customers who use some part of their platforms (not from what I can deduce from Broadsoft's website but from industry sources). Initially I see no impact to Broadsoft as they continue to own and dominate the incumbent telco market. Both Mitel and Shoretel have their own deployments on Broadsoft switches and app servers implementation so for Broadsoft there's no customer win or loss. I'll keep VoIPwatching... from http://andyabramson.blogs.com/voipwatch/2017/07/mitel-buys-shoretel.html
