In 2014, Avaya signed a $20 million, 10-year deal for naming rights for the home of the San Jose Earthquakes. Once it filed for bankruptcy in 2017 it was renamed PayPal Park.
In 2023, Avaya, the one-time networking and unified communications industry stalwart, filed for bankruptcy a second time and was delisted by the NYSE. At a time when both the collaboration and contact center markets were been red-hot, Avaya’s $3.4 billion massive debt obligations prevented it from executing in these areas.
