SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
As history is made in this month’s NCAA Men’s Final Four, the National
Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) will be using a mobile command
center powered by Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE: AVYA) to ensure a seamless
cloud communication experience off the court while hosting the thousands
of coaches, staff, and volunteers attending its annual convention.
During the convention, approximately 3,000 coaches will be in attendance
for the nation’s premier professional development and networking event
for basketball coaches at every level. The NABC needs a system to
support the structure and management of the convention so that
communications run smoothly and seamlessly during this five-day period.
The
Avaya IX Workplace communications platform ties everything together
and runs as command center for operations, communications, logistics,
and more during the pre-convention madness. NABC’s ability to leverage
the technology from any location facilitates the successful execution of
the convention.
“Things can change in a second, and during our most important time of
the year we rely on the Mobile Command Center, powered by Avaya IX
Workplace,” said Stephanie Whitcher, CFO, NABC.
This is the seventh year Avaya and partner, Allegiant Technology, have
delivered communication solutions to the NABC Convention held in
conjunction with the NCAA Men’s Final Four. Allegiant Technology set up
the Mobile Command Center, including phones, a firewall switch and VPN,
for the NABC to quickly make and receive phone calls using Avaya IX
Workplace software.
“Speed and agility are just as important off the court as they are on
the court,” added David Lee, Solutions Architect, Allegiant Technology.
“We’re proud to work with Avaya to deliver communication solutions that
allow the coaching staff to work the way they need to, and deliver the
best results.”
“We provide communication technology to a number of sports franchises
and organizations, and we’re proud that the NABC continue to choose our
solutions to support the nation’s premier event for basketball coaches,”
said Chris McGugan, Avaya Senior Vice President for Solutions and
Technology.
