Hey, has anyone seen a Partner Processor around here? If you find one hiding under a rock or lost in the Bermuda Triangle, let us know and we’ll go get it!
The Avaya Partner ACS phone system has been a reliable and well-liked piece of equipment that unfortunately is heading down that path the dinosaurs took. After nearly 25 years of manufacturing and distributing, Avaya announced they would be discontinuing production of this telephone system.
Since new processors are no longer being manufactured and replacements are getting scarce, those few that still exist are difficult to find and priced very high. The short supply and increased demand have made them a commodity of a seller’s market.
While the Partner is still a viable system and one Teltek is well-versed in servicing and repairing, you will have a big problem when the processor heaves.
If you have a Partner ACS system, you should consider upgrading to the Avaya IP Office Partner Edition. It has many features that you love about the Partner system along with a processor that can easily be replaced if something goes wrong. This new operating system enables up to 18 of your existing Avaya Partner ACS phones to be reused, offers a number of great new features and in most cases now costs less than repairing your current Partner ACS R7/8 CPU.
The decision by Avaya to halt production of the Partner ACS processor is a natural progression in the world of telecom technology and will encourage Avaya customers to migrate to a system that is more evolved and expandable.
