HP and Avaya have signed a new three-year deal to deliver advanced business communications into clients’ networks and systems.

As part of a three-year strategic agreement, elements of Avaya's Unified Communications and Contact Centre products will be added to HP’s Unified Communications and Collaboration services portfolio for enterprises.

The solution will be sold and delivered by HP.

"Organisations face constant change and the decisions they make must be flexible enough to meet future needs – such as unification of real-time communication with Web 2.0 and social media applications," said Gary M. Budzinski, Senior VP and General Manager, Technology Services, HP. "With HP and Avaya, clients can increase the agility of their existing communication architectures and realise the aspiration of unified communications for multi-vendor interoperability and ultimately save organisational costs."

Joel Hackney, Senior Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing, Avaya added, “HP and Avaya have highly complementary portfolios that deliver extraordinary benefits to customers, especially when combined with HP's consulting and IT outsourcing expertise.
