Avaya’s Vantage™ desktop smartphone awarded for innovation and impact
in the workplace
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE:AVYA) today announced its Avaya Vantage™
desktop smartphone has been recognized as the ‘Best Endpoint Solution’
in UC Today’s 2018
UC Awards. The UC awards recognize global industry leaders within
the unified communications space.
Companies must modernize how they do business in today’s hyper-connected
world. Delivering more than just voice, unified communications (UC)
provide leading companies with both tactical and strategic business
tools to more effectively compete and win. UC technology is rapidly
evolving to better support how employees today interact with
information, customers and colleagues.
The right UC endpoint is an important part of the corporate digital
transformation roadmap. In combination with smartphones and soft
clients, business users appreciate the always-on reliability and
superior audio performance of smart desk phones when they integrate
seamlessly with their UC applications.
Consumers are familiar with interactive, multimedia and personalized
devices when communicating with friends and family and are looking for
that same experience at work. This has created demand for desktop
endpoints that can deliver rich collaboration – text, chat, voice, video
and sharing – rather than just dial tone. Avaya addresses these evolving
business communications and collaboration needs with a unique
combination of devices, software and service.
“This award reinforces Avaya’s ongoing commitment to UC leadership and
delivering innovative, real time collaboration capabilities to customers
of all sizes and industries,” said Greg Pelton, VP Collaboration and
Devices, Avaya. “Avaya’s endpoints are uniquely designed to deliver a
rich set of UC services in cloud, on premises or hybrid deployments,
including support for Open SIP providers. Decades of experience and well
over 130 million lines in the hands of customers worldwide have led us
to Vantage™. Vantage is a 3rd generation UC device, the
beginning of the next transformation of business communications,
enabling greater productivity by putting the user in control.”
“With the Vantage device, Avaya has drawn on the personal technology
preferences of employees to make work communications feel more natural,”
said Blair Pleasant, President and Principal Analyst of COMMfusion, and
Co-Founder of BCStrategies. “Today’s communications includes so much
more than just voice – and Vantage puts all the tools that employees use
to communicate at their fingertips – in an always-on, desktop device.
What impresses me the most is the ability to create customized apps for
specific needs of vertical industries, such as hospitality, healthcare,
and more, integrating the Vantage device and communications into
business applications and workflows.”
Avaya

enterprise-grade UC and integrated business applications at the desktop.

and seamless integration of the full suite of UC services onto a single,
powerful device. When combined with Avaya’s Equinox™ experience, Vantage
is the dashboard for your business day, whether offering reminders,
sharing messages or launching video meetings with a single tap on the
