What's Happening in AVAYA CM these days 1

[IPOthermia]

I spent 2003 to 2018 playing with AVAYA CM and IP Office. I say playing because it was that much fun to work with.
However, various turns of events have me working as a Network Engineer today, and I seldom see phones, much less AVAYA phones.

So is anyone still installing AVAYA CM type phone systems in America either on premise or hosted?
Has H.323 finally disappeared over the horizon or is it still a valid useful option?
Is there still lots of work available in this field or are telephone guys largely extinct?

Thanks....

Yes CM's are still being installed and upgraded.
SIP and H.323 seem to be running neck and neck as far as numbers deployed. There are advantages/disadvantages to each.
There's still plenty of work available but talent level demands are somewhat high.
