Creating Intelligent Communications

About the Avaya Ecosystem

An Ecosystem is “a system of interacting and interdependent relationships.” For Avaya, this means
that our success is dependent upon the success of our partners. To help ensure that success, we’ve
created a variety of partnering programs ranging across the lifecycle of solution value creation, from
development and interoperability with Avaya products, to Go-to-Market programs for regional and
global partners alike, that extend product and service capabilities to our shared customer base in ways
Avaya could never deliver alone.

Among these ecosystem programs are Avaya’s DeveloperConnection and Global AlliancePartner
programs, each designed to deliver enablement and key go-to-market benefits with different types of
partners. These relationships combine the key strengths of both Avaya and its ecosystem members to
build a wide and flexible portfolio of customer solutions, including:

Co-developed software that integrates Avaya conferencing, collaboration, messaging, mobility, and

▶

contact center capabilities with leading business applications and middleware from ecosystem
members

Expertise in building complete communication solutions through strategic business and systems

▶

integration and project management to help maximize their return on investment

Business and technology consulting that helps customers with business process engineering and

▶

technology selection and migration to help reduce risk

Comprehensive network infrastructure expertise that encompasses servers, switches, routers,

▶

intelligent endpoint devices, and service provider networks to help reduce operational expenditures

End-to-end services and support – including (but not limited to) outsourcing/out-tasking services,

▶

managed services, and hosted solutions – that help customers manage costs and focus on their core
competencies

Through all of our programs, including the Avaya BusinessPartner and Consultant Relations programs,
Avaya and our extensive partner ecosystem can together help our customers reduce risk across their
enterprise, simplify their operations and gain competitive edge by transforming how communications can
be used for strategic advantage.

Avaya DeveloperConnection Program

The Avaya DeveloperConnection Program promotes the development, compliance testing and
co-marketing of innovative third-party products that are designed to utilize Avaya platforms or are
compatible with standards-based Avaya solutions. The use of open standards allows companies to
add new capabilities to their enterprise without having to replace their existing infrastructure. They can
integrate new Intelligent Communications applications into their operations and deliver vital information
to employees and customers wherever they are located and regardless the type of communication
device or network they use. As a result, companies are able to get more out of their communications
investment and can realize new possibilities for making their business more competitive.

The Avaya DeveloperConnection program’s membership totals thousands of companies, including
hardware and software developers, system integrators, service providers and Avaya customers from
around the world. This year, we are excited to welcome members from Ubiquity Software’s UDN
developer program to the Avaya ecosystem. These partners will bring new value to Avaya customers,
both Enterprise and Service Provider, as well as to other members of our developer community itself
through their innovative applications and development tools.

Members have expertise in IP telephony, contact centers and mobility applications and have created
hundreds of innovative solutions tested for Avaya compliance – including natural language speech
recognition applications, wireless services, specialized computer telephony integration and applications
tailored for specific vertical industries.

As members of the DeveloperConnection program, companies have access to a wide range of support
from Avaya, including technical resources, compliance testing, training and marketing benefits.

Avaya Global AlliancePartner Program

The Global AlliancePartner Program combines Avaya expertise and industry leadership with that of
other world-class organizations to deliver innovative, seamless communication solutions. Incorporating
strategic technology alliances and go-to-market sales relationships, the program brings unique
solutions to the marketplace, delivering the latest in technology and expert services to customers.

The mission of the Avaya Global AlliancePartner Program is to increase clarity, predictability and
timeliness around Avaya’s engagement with these strategic partners and to provide them with a best in
class, consistent set of expectations, support, benefits and tools across the different markets in which
they operate.

Avaya AlliancePartners vary widely in scope and expertise. Some offer a breadth of capabilities, while
others have a laser-like focus on a particular technology category. Our program encompasses:

Service Providers with whom Avaya collaborates to deliver Avaya product solutions, hosted solutions,

▶

and sophisticated contact centers

communications, communications-enabled business processes and services – letting us weave
leading-edge hardware, software and consulting expertise into cohesive solutions that help customers
meet their specific business objectives. As a result, you can offer customers a wider choice of

A Communications Network Company

An intelligent communications solution by Avaya and Aruba Networks

A FORTUNE 100® company located in the southern United States, with annual revenues in excess
of $10 billion and more than 35,000 employees, owns and operates a large-scale, nationwide
communications network. Among the company’s core values is an emphasis on customer service and
satisfaction – doing whatever it takes to meet customer expectations. The company also measures its
success based on delivering superior financial returns to its stakeholders.

Challenge

The customer runs one of the largest nationwide communications networks from a Network Operations
Center in the southern United States. The NOC is a 7,000 square foot, open-plan room with low
cubicles and large animated displays on the walls. At any given time, there are up to 70 network
engineers in the NOC, all of whom may have active voice calls. Network engineers typically work at
their desks in office spaces adjacent to the NOC. When they report to the NOC for a shift, they move
to a workstation in one of the cubicles. As they monitor and solve network problems, they also form
ad-hoc teams using surrounding conference rooms.

As the network engineers must be un-tethered to be effective and efficient, a mobile voice and data
solution is mandatory. Previously, the customer’s voice solution was based on the public cellular
network; however, this was outside their 5-digit numbering scheme and had very high associated costs
of approximately $100 per engineer per month.

Solution

Aruba and Avaya partnered to deliver a wireless voice solution that provided PBX features and
advanced voice functionality to NOC engineers. Aruba provided a centralized enteprise Wi-Fi
infrastructure comprising managed Aruba AP-65 and AP-70 Access Points (APs) located on the top
of workspace cubicles throughout the NOC and connected to the company’s LAN infrastructure. An
Aruba 6000 mobility controller, installed in the company’s data center, manages and secures the Wi-Fi
network. A range of SIP-capable voice-over-Wi-Fi (VoFi) phones were tested and approved by both
Aruba and Avaya, qualifying handsets offering the full Avaya feature set and extending capabilities well
beyond the “SIP-16.”

Results

Cost savings. ▶ Cost savings of more than $75,000 per year by switching from cellular-based mobile

voice to an enterprise Wi-Fi solution

Improved mobility. ▶ The solution enables help desk workers to be mobile while retaining automatic

contact distribution features and provides them with mobile phones mirroring the functionality of their
desk phones.

AtHoc

AtHoc is a recognized leader in providing enterprise-class, network-centric emergency notification
systems used for force and personnel protection, facility mass notification, public safety and critical
enterprise communications. Millions of end users worldwide, in organizations such as the U.S. Air

FIFA World Cup™

An intelligent communications solution by Avaya and Citrix

As the Official Convergence Communication provider for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ in Germany,
Avaya provided a champion communications network for the world’s largest sporting event. The
converged network – combining voice and data on the same infrastructure – connected the 12 host
stadiums, the international media centers in Munich, Berlin and Dortmund, and the FIFA headquarters
in Berlin. Players, coaches, volunteers and fans alike benefited from the Avaya network that was
instrumental in player and journalist accreditation, results reporting, material tracking, accommodation
confirmations, transportation, and ticketing, among other critical functions. With an estimated 45,000
network connections, 30,000 network devices and over 15 terabytes (or 15,000,000,000,000 bytes)
of data, it is the largest converged communication network ever built for a sporting event. For more
information, visit www.FIFA.com.

Challenge

FIFA needed to manage a directory for 100,000 people from disparate organizations working on the
FIFA World Cup, and provide easy, quick access to contact information contained in that directory
across mutiple sites including stadia, headquarters, hotels and other venues. In addition, the
organization sought to provide real time score updates and venue information to the browsers of the IP
phones in the overall converged network provided by Avaya.

Solution

Citrix provided Avaya the Express Directory solution, part of the Avaya Phone Application Suite,
enabling LDAP directory integration to manage a very large and fluid directory of people from disparate
organizations. Using intelligent algorithms and pruning, users could use a few quick keystrokes and
access contact information right on the browsers of the Avaya IP Telephones. Approximately 4,500
Avaya IP Telephones were installed across several FIFA locations – including stadia, headquarters
offices and hotels where FIFA personnel were based.

The Avaya Phone Application Suite incorporates a new breed of converged applications, including
broadcast alerts, express directory, click-to-call from a PC, and text messaging for Avaya IP
Telephones. The product portfolio includes: the Avaya Application Gateway AG250, the only hardware
element of the portfolio, which enables users to run phone applications on the browsers of the Avaya
4600 IP Telephones; the Avaya Productivity Pack consisting of Broadcast Alerts, Text Messaging,
Express Directory, and Click-to-Call; Transformed Applications and Avaya Design Studio. The Avaya
Application Gateway AG250 enables applications to be reformatted or configured to deliver existing
web-based (HTML/XML) applications for easy, interactive access and use on the Avaya 4600 and 9600
Series IP Telephones.

Results

Speed and accuracy of communications. ▶ Individuals were easier to locate and real time updates of

scores were ubiquitous and useful.

Increased productivity. ▶

More intelligent processes. ▶

Cost savings. ▶ Extend converged infrastructure to decrease costs by offering telephony features on

the browsers of converged devices such as directory look-up.

With new construction and future planned construction on the horizon, ADMC wanted a complete
core-based infrastructure that could reliably provide the performance and stability that the environment
required. It sought a solution to provide enhanced mobility for staff to support paperless patient intake
while providing a valuable service to patients and their families. In a health care environment where
access to information and speed of communication can determine a life or death situation, the new
network didn’t just have to deliver the management and maintenance simplicity IT staff needed, it also
had to provide the resiliency and performance the new applications required.

Solution

ADMC relies on an Avaya IP Telephony Solution with Extreme Networks® BlackDiamond® series
switches, which provide the foundation for the core and wireless network. With Extreme Networks’
infrastructure IT can quickly created wireless VLANs for patients and visitors, while taking advantage
of the additional security features built into the solution. The combination of Extreme Networks and
Avaya solutions gives ADMC a solid, reliable and secure network communications foundation, which is
positioned for growth and future innovations.

Results

Increased staff mobility. ▶ Staff and doctors rely on PDAs for scheduling and communication, as well

as wireless devices hanging around their necks for real-time communication regardless of location.
Both productivity and responsiveness are a result of wireless mobility applications.

Improved patient care. ▶ Wireless computers on wheels (COWs) enable paperless intake in the

emergency department, reducing the time necessary to collect patient information and improving the
staff’s ability to care for the over 16,000 patients annually who are treated in emergency care.

Heightened security. ▶ Security features including authentication, encryption, access and intrusion

capabilities detect rogue access points and unauthorized peer-to-peer networks operating in the
medical center. System managers can easily locate and eliminate problems quickly without network
disruption.

IT staff efficiencies increased ▶ . Extreme Networks EPICenter® provides this three person IT Team a

visual of the network so that issues can be identified and addressed quickly to ensure patient care is
on-going and uninterrupted.

Better network performance ▶ . Since installing the new Extreme Networks infrastructure, ADMC has

experienced better network performance throughout the facility as well as better communications for
its staff – and both results directly affect patient care.
