Brisbane-based solutions provider, Comlinx
has been appointed as an Avaya business partner with a focus on
delivering telephony,security, wireless and networking solutions to
large corporates and government departments.
Two ex-Avaya employees, Scott Smith and Wayne Shaw, established
Comlinx to take advantage of existing Avaya customers and the huge
opportunity for growth in the Queensland
market.
An increased Avaya presence in Brisbane will mean
that existing Avaya enterprise and government customers will benefit
from the appointment of Comlinx as a registered Avaya busines partner.
"At Comlinx
we have taken a different approach as a complimentary Avaya systems
integrator in the Australian marketplace,'' said Scott Smith, Director of Comlinx.
"We
have created a business model based on providing our customers with an
end to end business solution, using best of breed technology that is
tightly integrated and managed by a singleComlinx support interface.
This approach has seen us receive incredible support from our customers
as well as the global vendors that we represent. Our focus will
continue to be across IP telephony, contact centres, mobility and
security."
Comlinx has established a partner ecosystem that
parallels Avaya's global vision and strategy and is working with other
leading global vendors Juniper, Aruba, Polycom and NICE.
Avaya said Comlinx
will complement its existing portfolio of enterprise Business Partners
because of its strong heritage and knowledge of Avaya, its deep
industry expertise in systems integration and growing profile in the
Queensland market.
"Queensland
is a very active market with enterprises in the public and private
sectors now investing extensively in ICT. Headquartered in Queensland,
Comlinx is well positioned to leverage these new market
opportunities," said Andy Hurt, Avaya's Channel Director.
"Scott
and Wayne are well known in the industry with established strengths in
the ICT space and we wish them all the best as they continue to grow
their operation."
"Avaya
is pleased to be working with a focused group of Business Partners that
offer differentiated services. Our channel strategy is to select
partners with strong business consulting expertise and those local
organisations that align with our vision to embrace alliances with the
market leading networking, security and wireless enterprises," added
Hurt.
Smith said, "We are now in an enviable position to help
our customers extend their communications capabilities right across
their company in a secure and seamless way. This has an incredible ROI
through increased productivity for most of the customers that we are
working with. Businesses want to take the next step to ensure the same
business-enabled communications are carried out from the desktop to the
mobile."
Comlinx's philosophy is to continue to build an
innovative and refreshing company to meet business customer needs and
attract the most talented staff. "We have attracted a number of highly
skilled team members at a time where many companies are experiencing
challenges attracting and retaining talent. We put this down to the
success and team based culture that we are building," added Wayne Shaw,
the other Comlinx Director.
