For Immediate Release: 6-March-2006
BASKING RIDGE, N.J. – Avaya Inc. (NYSE:AV)
is cutting through the complexity of communications
with intelligent access to the right applications at
the right time, using the right device for the job.
Avaya one-X endpoints and interface applications empower
individuals with Avaya Intelligent Communications, providing
a consistent user experience that is uniquely Avaya.
The Avaya one-X experience, which is based on a fully
open standards-based platform, was unveiled today with
three Avaya one-X products at VoiceCon Spring 2006,
the leading conference and exhibition for enterprise
voice, IP Telephony and convergence in North America.
The three new core products introduced today are:
- one-X™ Quick Edition
- one-X™ Desktop Edition
- one-X™ Mobile Edition for Nokia S60
Technology from Avaya’s 2005 acquisition of Nimcat Networks
was used in designing Avaya one-X™ Quick Edition. (See
separate release issued today about one-X Quick Edition.)
“The Avaya one-X offerings we are showcasing at VoiceCon
illustrate the basic principles behind intelligent access
to Intelligent Communications,” said Jocelyne Attal,
chief marketing officer, Avaya. “Avaya one-X solutions
are designed to provide consistent, appropriate access
to applications across devices and interfaces, making
it possible for workers to easily get the communications
they need for the way they do business.”
Avaya said today’s announcements are the latest proof
of the company’s ongoing commitment to reliability,
scalability and security and using them to deliver on
the promise of Intelligent communications.
Intelligent Communications seamlessly connects communications
applications and business applications, giving workers,
customers and processes the ability to be linked to
the right person, at the right time, by the right medium
– voice, text and video – over any network. This right-time,
right-choice communications gives businesses and workers
increased agility through greater speed, responsiveness
to customers and control over communications.
Avaya one-X Quick Edition
The newly released Avaya one-X Quick Edition,
which is based on software from Avaya’s acquisition
of Nimcat Networks, spotlights the need for plug-and-play,
easy-to-use Internet Protocol (IP) telephony solutions,
delivering core functionality in a Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP)-based peer-to-peer system. The system
is simple to set up, use and manage, for a user experience
that is tailored for very small businesses and branch
offices. Avaya one-X Quick Edition meets the unique
needs of small offices by providing a select group of
popular communication features and functionality, without
the need for detailed technical knowledge and expertise.
It is ideally suited for small offices with less than
20 phones.
Avaya one-X Desktop Edition
Workers who travel and rely on their laptop computers
appreciate the ease of use and rich feature set of the
one-X Desktop Edition, also introduced at VoiceCon.
The Desktop Edition lets users access the capabilities
of their desktop phone through a streamlined interface
on their PC integrating Presence, Instant Messaging
and “click-to-conference,” which enables users to add
up to 5 people into a conference with the click of a
mouse.
The one-X Desktop Edition provides advanced enterprise
telephony capabilities using the flexible Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP)-based IP telephony for smooth integration
across applications and devices.
Avaya one-X Mobile Edition for Nokia S60
The one-X Mobile Edition for Nokia S60 mobile phones
lets workers put their office phone in their pocket.
The solution equips Nokia S60 enterprise smart phones
with access to Avaya’s flagship Avaya Communication
Manager software, enabling users to be accessible via
one business number and use a single voicemail system
whether they are in the office or mobile. Irrespective
of their work locations, users have access to the same
enterprise communication capabilities found in the office
such as call conferencing, transfer, call recording,
abbreviated dialing, all leveraging the corporate IP
network. The application also allows users to switch
between personal and business calls, avoiding the need
to manually separate the different calls for billing
purposes.
“Avaya is taking a leadership role in enhancing the
communications experience of the business user,” said
Barry Marks, partner at IntelliCom Analytics. “As end-users
increasingly expect to be able to access productivity-enhancing
business applications from their device of choice, Avaya's
family of one-X solutions brings the business benefits
of advanced and easy-to-use IP communications to companies
of all sizes. This is a strong tangible demonstration
of Avaya's commitment to Intelligent Communications.”
