In 1995, Lucent Technologies was spun off from AT&T, and Lucent subsequently spun off units of its own in an attempt to restructure its struggling operations.

Avaya was then spun off from Lucent as its own company in 2000 (Lucent merged with Alcatel SA in 2006, becoming Alcatel-Lucent, which was purchased in turn by Nokia in 2016). It remained a public company from 2000 to 2007. In October 2007, Avaya was acquired by two private-equity firms, TPG Capital and Silver Lake Partners, for $8.2 billion.

On January 19, 2017, Avaya filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

On December 15, 2017, it once again became a public company, trading under the NYSE stock ticker AVYA.

On February 14, 2023, Avaya once again entered into financial restructuring via the Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection process. On May 1, 2023, Avaya completed its financial restructuring, emerging from bankruptcy as a private company.
