Avaya Fast-Tracks Customers to Cloud

Cloud
Avaya today escalated its efforts to get customers to fast-track to the cloud with the first of several sweeping initiatives that will optimise solutions and processes for delivery of collaboration as a service (CaaS) via the Avaya Collaborative Cloud. Strong demand from large and midsize enterprises for Avaya communications and collaboration applications is driving a focus on expanded scale and reach, as well as simpler, faster provisioning that requires fewer resources.

While many other areas of IT have successfully adopted cloud-based solutions, the communications infrastructure is one of the last remaining hold-outs due to complexity and concerns around reliability, security and privacy.

As part of the Collaborative Cloud, Avaya Private Cloud Services – formerly known as Avaya Operations Services – demonstrates the upward trajectory of demand as companies evolve from legacy, premises-based communications systems to private cloud solutions. Avaya Private Cloud Services reduces the risk and complexity of bringing together the many different infrastructure components and applications that moving communications to the cloud requires.

Joe Manuele, vice president, Worldwide SP/SI and Global Cloud Services, Avaya commented “In today’s business environment, enterprises of all sizes need virtualised, consumption-based, pay-as-you-go models. Avaya provides support for legacy install base and easy migration from on premises to the cloud and gets businesses onboard and up-and-running. Companies that can gain an edge whether through, faster collaboration, better agility or decreased spending on IT maintenance are going to outpace their competition.”
