Here’s another Mitel Partner Alert notice based on bulletins PB2022Jul1D and PB2022Jul15A.
Since the November 2021 announcement of the Mitel/RingCentral partnership, Mitel customers have endured several rounds of increased pricing for equipment, support, and hardware, along with waning support offerings, discontinued products, and software vulnerabilities.
And another one has just come down the pike. Read on for details:

Software Assurance Services (SWA) Price Increase
Mitel is increasing Mitel SWA on September 1, 2022, for some of its products. However Mitel MiVoice Connect is excluded from these SWA price changes.
