Avaya's Unique Value Proposition
How does Avaya uniquely address the most crucial requirements of the Enterprise..?
Firstly, intelligent components and designs are at the heart of Avaya's reputation for
delivering the most distinguished resiliency model in the industry. Besides being fully
scalable across the Enterprise, it has been independently tested to deliver significantly
better resiliency than the market share leader and provides uncompromising end-to-end
availability for real-time applications such as IP Telephony.
Secondly, providing dependability and performance only goes so far if the network is not
efficient in its service delivery. An efficient network is a better performing network. Avaya's
network is designed with architectures that maximize all resources and investments, doing
away with idle or under-utilized links, equipment, and even entire "architectural tiers"
delivering up to 20x better performance and 1/3 less equipment.
And, last but of course not least, a network that is deterministic and optimized also needs
to have the embedded flexibility to seamlessly scale as business demands evolve and
grow. Through genuine innovation Avaya provides Industry-leading solutions that
maximize capacity utilization, easily accommodate incremental growth, and therefore
avoid unnecessary and costly forklift upgrades
In summary, while Avaya addresses each characteristic uniquely, the most impressive
advantage is that Avaya excels at all three simultaneously
