So, it’s official. Mitel has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

For many organisations still relying on Mitel for their communications, this news raises big questions—and a fair amount of concern. Will support disappear? Will services be disrupted? Will your team be left stranded with a system no one wants to touch?
