Untitled edit
This page is not intended to be advertising the company in any way, and the author has no ties or afiliations to the company, and is not a shareholder. Furthermore, examination and exploration of bankruptcy history that is not mentioned on the company's web site should hardly be construed as "advertising" or promoting the company in any way. The article is simply intended to give an unbiased profile and corporate history of the company for those existing or prospective consumers wishing to know more about the company.

The sources that you wish to be cited are not independent of the topic and thus not suited for this article. The text is also too promotional in my opinion which is why I have only copied over the very first parts. The article is still in need for a major overhaul (structure, style, tone, sources) which I recommend you to propose as an edit request.

- It is unclear what is meant by the phrase "can be deployed on-premises, virtually, or in the cloud", nor is it known how delineating this "deployment" ensures that the claim is non-promotional in nature.

==Corporate history==
Headquartered in Sunnyvale, Zultys Technologies was founded by Iain Milnes in 2001 as a privately held company.

In September 2006, due to a sudden cancellation of planned capital investment, Zultys filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Northern District of California court.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://cable.tmcnet.com/news/articles/2075-reversal-fortune-zultys.htm | title=A Reversal of Fortune for Zultys}}</ref> In October 2006, Zultys Technologies' assets and intellectual property were put up for bankruptcy auction. The primary bidders in the auction were Nebraska-based InPath Devices, Telrad Connergy backed Pivot VoIP (a group composed of former Zultys engineers<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.fierceenterprisecommunications.com/story/former-employees-buy-zultys-in-bankruptcy-auction/2006-11-03 | title=Home | Questex}}</ref>), and Ian Milnes. Pivot VoIP eventually won the bidding and acquired Zultys for US$2.65 million plus debt obligations, and operations and product portfolios were merged with Pivot. The new company was formed as Zultys, Inc., and Telrad Connegy's Chairman and owner, Avi Weinrib, was named President and CEO.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://news.thomasnet.com/companystory/Pivot-VoIP-Completes-Transformation-into-Zultys-Technologies-510171 | title=Pivot VoIP Completes Transformation into Zultys Technologies}}</ref>

- Why it should be changed:
This section currently contains information about a company named Zultys Technologies. However, the article title is “Zultys,” which is not the same as “Zultys Technologies.” The following differences between Zultys Technologies and Zultys, Inc. demonstrate that these two companies are not the same:
| Zultys Technologies | Zultys, Inc. | |
|---|---|---|
| Formation Date | 2001 | 09/14/2006 |
| Founder | Ian Miles | Pivot VoIP, Inc. |
| Name | Zultys Technologies | Zultys, Inc. |
| Management | Zultys Technologies | Pivot VoIP, Inc. |
To maintain the appropriate scope of the article and to keep the article’s content on topic, this edit request omits information before Zultys, Inc.’s founding date of September 14, 2006. FallBreeze1 (talk) 17:37, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
