Perhaps Lucent (now Avaya) and Nortel do have an advantage with that huge base of installed PBX systems. Here is an excerpt from an article in Network world about the Seattle Times system.

"Why did the Times go with Avaya for VoIP when it had a Cisco-centric data network? Dunkerley says they took a close look at Cisco's AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data) IP telephony products and systems from Alcatel and Nortel, but it came down to Cisco and Avaya.

"The major reason we went with Avaya was because it was the incumbent technology" for voice, Dunkerley says. "That may sound like a cop-out, but there is value in that; the interfaces on the IP phones are exactly the same as on the old [Lucent] phones, and the management is the same as it was on the G3" PBX from Avaya.
