Key Takeaways:

News:
Avaya, a global provider of business communications and collaboration systems and services, announced a continued focus and commitment both to the APAC region and to its channel partner model as it welcomed over 200 Avaya Connect channel partners from 14 APAC countries to its Annual Channel Partner Conference in Bangkok, as the kick off to the company’s Financial Year 2012.
Celebrating the company’s APAC performance, Fran?ois Lan?on, President, Avaya Asia Pacific, thanked the company’s channel partners for their continued commitment and support for the company’s innovation and forward looking strategy.
The communications and networking industry is at a crossroads where the rapid growth in the number of devices and applications meets changing user preferences and employee work-styles. The bottleneck for businesses is no longer access to information — it is the ability to connect people together with the right information at the right time to make smarter decisions, faster, in real time.
Avaya continues to enhance business collaboration and communication by developing technologies that enable teams to work together in a synchronized and collaborative manner.
As Avaya honoured its top performers and reviewed strong business performance in the past year, Lan?on also laid out the company’s focus areas for the APAC region in FY12. These include reaffirmation of the company’s commitment to a customer-centric partner-enabled business model and a focus on its top customers across the region. In addition, the company is driving innovation that supports Avaya’s key growth sectors including financial services, hospitality, government, healthcare, manufacturing and outsourcing.
Speaking at the event, Lan?on underlined how the company’s services business is vital to the continued success of both Avaya and its customers across APAC. The growth in requirements for both professional and managed services coupled with Avaya’s support services business, delivered both directly by Avaya and by its strong ecosystem of channel partners, reinforces the value of this significant portion of the company’s offering.
Avaya continues to drive sales into the extensive medium-sized business or ‘Mid Enterprise’ market in APAC, as well as delivering data networking solutions and software sales in support of APAC’s rapidly evolving business landscape.
