Set against a background of high profile rumors the company is looking for somebody to sell out to Avaya, a leader in the field of Internet Protocol telecommunications, all Centre technologies and the growing area of Unified Communications opened its two-day Australian User Conference Avaya Connect today in Sydney.



South Pacific Managing Director, Carlton Taya, presented a keynote in which he described how the disparate voice and data networks run by large enterprise has begun to transition to a converged environment over the past three or four years.

These early movers, Taya said were now looking at new goals which would see them move forward transitioning to the emerging area of Intelligent Communications where communications are deeply embedded and integrated into the business processes of an organization reaching a new level of automation and eliminating communications latency from company activities.

To achieve these results, Taya said Avaya was moving from a hardware dominated company to a more software focused company building solutions based on Service Oriented Architecture and built upon the IP Telephony Platform.

Taya said that Avaya, which has grown from its early dominance in the Call Centre/Contact Centre market has been implementing Unified Communications for its clients for three years already and now planned to take the lead in the area of Communications-Enabled Business Applications where the company embeds communications into the very fabric of the business processes.

Taya said Intelligent Communications required an detailed understanding of a company's business processes so that the communications "smarts" can sit alongside the business processes to make "the whole machine real time".
