We knew it was going to happen someday, and now we know (approximately) when. Mitel has announced that the MiVoice Connect product will be phased out by the end of the decade.
That may sound like a lot of time, so why bother to take action now? Though the broad communication of these dates has not been released to the public yet, Packet Fusion is a top Mitel partner, so here’s what we know about the dates of the phase-out:
- At the most basic level, you need to have a plan to get off of the Mitel MiVoice Connect system
- The end of sale for all new systems will be at the end of next year, 2023
- The end of add-on sales is the end of 2024 or 2025 (Mitel has shared that this is ‘TBD’)
- And most importantly, Mitel’s end of technical support is the last day of this decade, Dec. 31, 2029
