BASKING RIDGE, NJ -- 11/19/08 --
Avaya Inc. announced today that
Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) has named Avaya IP Office as a
recipient of a 2008 INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award presented by
INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine.
Avaya IP Office is a sophisticated and affordable communications solution
that brings together the benefits of voice and Internet technologies to
enable a small or medium sized enterprise (SME) to have the same
business-critical applications available to a FORTUNE 500 firm. The suite
of applications helps SMEs maximize the productivity of their employees by
letting the entire staff communicate anytime, anywhere while helping to
significantly lowering operating costs.
"Responsiveness to customers is one of the biggest competitive advantages
for SMEs, but organizations are also challenged with maintaining employee
morale in a tough economy," said Geoffrey Baird, vice president and general
manager, Integrated Office Communications Group, Avaya. "This honor
reinforces our leadership and future investment in bringing IP
communications to the millions of small to medium sized organizations that
need to communicate with partners, customers and colleagues with the same
sophistication and efficiencies of their larger competitors."
"Advancing IP communications and providing solutions that add significant
value in this marketplace has earned Avaya recognition from the editors of
INTERNET TELEPHONY in the form of an INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award,"
said Greg Galitzine, Editorial Director of INTERNET TELEPHONY. "IP Office
has excelled in delivering communications solutions for its customers, who
are extremely pleased and have offered their testaments of support."
In addition to helping businesses improve cost-efficiencies and customer
service, Avaya IP Office has been recognized as an important productivity
driver for workers in small and medium sized businesses. Employees can use
it to turn their home phones into office phones, access emails and business
calls via their mobile devices, use laptops to create conference calls or
work full-time from home with all of the capabilities of a branch office.
This delivers productivity boosts for employees and cost savings for small
businesses.
"Avaya IP Office has proven to bring outstanding contributions to IP
communications and winning solutions for its customers," added Rich
Tehrani, Editor-in-Chief of INTERNET TELEPHONY.
The 2008 INTERNET TELEPHONY Excellence Award winners are published in the
