NEC Announcement:
We are writing to address requests and concerns regarding deadlines in our previous Product Lifecycle Announcement.
NEC Corporation of America (NEC) acknowledges the importance of our Unified Communications (UC) solutions and understands the need for ongoing support. We are pleased to offer extended technical support, software licensing, and Software Assurance (SWA). While this does not change overall plans to withdraw from the on-premises business, we intend for this extension to provide a clearer outlook for the End of Life (EOL) on-premises UC platforms.
