Avaya Teams With HP in UC

Avaya and HP Enterprise Services (ES) announce a multi-year partnership offering cloud-based unified communications and contact centre technology together with enterprise management solutions.

As a result the two companies will start selling a combined Unified Communications-as-a-Service, Contact Centre-as-a-Service and infrastructure modernisation portfolio, one powered by Avaya UC software and HP's cloud capabilities.

The agreement also sees HP ES reselling the as-a-Service offerings while Avaya gets increased deployment scale.

HP ES Business Process Services will deliver a "significant" portion of Avaya Private Cloud Services (APCS), which will be integrated into the existing Mobility and Workplace and Business Process Services ecosystem. Thus a number of APCS employees and contractors will be transferred to HP ES.
