Avaya is Leaving Small and Mid-Sized Business Telecom Behind—We've Got You Covered.
Avaya has recently announced several strategic moves that leave many small and mid-sized businesses in a difficult position. If your business relies on an Avaya telecommunications solution, you may be facing a disruption in your service and support, reduced reliability, and an uncertain future for your communication system. Verge is here to help.


Avaya is Focused on Its G1500—What About Your Business?
Avaya announcements have made their strategic plans clear: the “G1500” initiative focuses on serving only their top 1,500 global enterprise customers. That means small and mid-sized businesses—once a core part of Avaya’s customer base—are not getting the attention they deserve.
If you’re not part of Avaya’s exclusive G1500 club, you may already be feeling the effects:
- Slower support response times
- Increased maintenance and licensing costs
- Limited upgrade paths for your phone system
- Pressure to migrate to solutions that don’t fit your needs
At Verge, every customer matters. Whether you have a single location or multiple offices, whether you need basic business VoIP phone service or a full-scale unified communication platform, we’re here to support you. We don’t prioritize businesses based on size—we prioritize you because you’re our customer.

What Avaya’s Changes Mean for Your Business
Recent announcements indicate that Avaya is:
- Ending support for cloud contact centers with fewer than 200 seats
- Moving away from small and mid-sized businesses, focusing on large enterprise customers
- Laying off employees and scaling down regional support, making it harder to get assistance
- Discontinuing product lines, leaving many businesses scrambling for an alternative
If you’re using an Avaya solution, your business is at risk of losing support and facing higher costs for maintenance and limited upgrade paths. But you don’t have to wait for disruptions—now is the time to take control of your communications strategy.

Why Verge is the Best Avaya Alternative
At Verge, we believe that every business matters—whether you have a handful of employees or a growing team, your communication needs are critical to your success. While large providers like Avaya are shifting focus to big enterprise deals, we are here to provide personalized, enterprise-grade solutions without the enterprise-grade pricing.
Unlike large providers like Avaya or global telecom websites, Verge offers:
- Customer-Centric Service – You’re not just a number to us. Our local, hands-on team provides personalized support and tailored solutions.
- Future-Proof Communication – Get a modern, scalable phone system without the high costs or forced migrations.
- Seamless Migration – Transitioning from Avaya? We make it easy, handling the migration without disrupting your business.
- Enterprise-Grade Features, Small Business Pricing – Get the technology your business needs without breaking the bank.
- Reliable, Local Support – No more waiting in a holding pattern for an email or chat back on your service issue—our dedicated support team is just a call away.
We understand that small and mid-sized businesses have unique communication needs that don’t fit into a one-size-fits-all, transactional phone service. We will work hand-in-hand with you to create a successful communication and collaboration strategy for your business and contact center.
You Deserve a Telecommunications Provider That Puts You First
