As the country’s biggest spender on R&D by a country mile, Nortel is still an important part of Canada’s high-tech ecosystem. In addition to providing well-paid jobs, Nortel has been a valuable resource by providing Canada’s high-tech community with a steady flow of well-trained and experience engineers, developers and entrepreneurs. Many people have earned their stripes at Nortel, and then gone on to make important contributions at other companies within the high-tech sector.
If Nortel becomes a smaller and viable entity, the company has a good chance of maintaining its status as Canada’s flagship high-tech company. This is why I believe that if push comes to shove the Canadian government - and some of its agencies such as EDC - will wade into the fray to provide Nortel with some financial support.
If, however, Nortel is sold (There’s speculation Huawei may be interested in buying the whole kit and caboodle), who knows what it would mean for Nortel’s presence in Canada. Maybe Nortel’s corporate headquarters would remain but its operations, including R&D, would be moved out of the country.
This would be a troubling end to Nortel’s Canadian history and, as important, the Canadian high-tech industry.
Juniper to Benefit from Nortel Challenges
NetworkWorld’s Jim Duffy has a story on how Oppenheimer & Co. analyst Ittai Kidron believes Juniper Networks could benefit from Nortel’s financial challenges as enterprise customers explore alternative suppliers.
“We believe recent reports that Nortel is contemplating bankruptcy are likely to force its enterprise channel to look for new alternatives,” Kidron said in a recent report. “With roughly $600M-$700M in quarterly enterprise revenue, we believe Nortel’s enterprise business could deteriorate faster than its carrier business. We expect competitors to aggressively poach Nortel’s channels and enterprise business.”
Earlier this month, Channel Web reported that Juniper was wooing Nortel’s partners. In a letter to Nortel partnership, Frank Vitagliano, Juniper’s senior VP of worldwide channels says:
At Juniper Networks, we understand it can be challenging to navigate the current business landscape while continuing to add value to your customers. In today’s troubled climate, you may have concerns about your continued ability to provide high-performance networking solutions to your customers. We want to help.
