In February 2004, the Company sold the connectivity solutions business to CommScope, Inc. In November 2004, the company acquired Tenovis GmbH & Co.

Avaya Inc.'s rank changes

The company's ranking in 2007 was a decline from 2006 when it was ranked 434th on the Fortune 500. The Previous ranking was based on its 2006 revenue of $4,902 million (a change of 1 million compared to 2007) and profits of $921 million (a change of -720 million compared to 2007).

Another point of view

To many investors, profits are more important than the revenue a company earns. If the Fortune 500 was ranked by profits instead of revenue then Avaya Inc. would be ranked 443rd rather than 440th due to its profits of $201 in 2007.
