Avaya and Research In Motion are in the final stages of deploying enterprise communications applications to the BlackBerry.

The two are doing VoIP interoperability testing between the Avaya Converged Communications Server and the BlackBerry 7270 Wireless Handheld for WLAN.

Once that’s sorted the development focus will shift to integrating Avaya communications applications more tightly with the business process applications that are supported on BlackBerry, such as sales force automation tools.

"Working with RIM, an industry leader in mobile solutions, enables Avaya to accelerate the deployment of applications that can help businesses move to a new level of intelligent communications, a way to dynamically link communications and business processes anytime, anywhere," said Geoffrey Baird, general manager and vice president, Avaya Communications Appliances Division.  "This marks another important step in Avaya's plan to help businesses take advantage of the benefits of mobility by extending the bridge between the fixed and wireless worlds."

"Avaya and RIM have complementary strategies for strengthening the links between business communications applications so that campus workers and customers can communicate more effectively," said Larry Conlee, COO at Research In Motion.  "We look forward to moving ahead with the introduction of new, standards-based solutions that will help revolutionize the way people work within the enterprise."
