What is driving enterprises towards unified communications products

despite the downward economic conditions ?



In the Indian context, companies cant retrench too many employees. As a

huge chunk of expenditure goes towards employee travels, enterprises are

definitely looking forward to cut them by making use of UC products that allow

audio video collaboration, and simultaneously give them the experience of having

a real-time meeting. With Avaya Aura, we have essentially enabled enterprises to

reduce travel and yet create collaboration.

What has been the concept behind creating the new platform?



In times like this enterprises are approaching Avaya to find out how we can

help them to cut costs even when deploying new technologies. There is no chance

of winning new customers if we ask them to deploy our technology and remove all

the existing technologies in their organization.

What are the advantage that an enterprise can think of by adopting the new

Avaya Aura platform?



Aura simplifies complex communications networks, reduces infrastructure

costs and quickly delivers voice, video, messaging, presence, web applications

and more to employees anywhere.

It adds powerful new capabilities to communication manager, including session

management that enables multi-vendor hardware and software to communicate across

the enterprise network. Avaya Aura orchestrates a wide array of communication

applications and systems by decoupling applications from the network. As a

result, services can be deployed to users depending on what they need,

irrespective of where they work or the capabilities of the system to which they

are connected.

How easy is it to integrate existing equipment or new services on the

platform?



The new architecture is anchored by the Session Initiation Protocol based,

open standards Aura Session Manager, which centralizes communications control

and application integration. Session Manager orchestrates a wide array of

communication applications and systems by decoupling applications from the

network.

Session Manager instantly reduces complexity and provides the foundation for

broader unified communications strategies.
