Avaya expands partnership with Microsoft

Tech giants Avaya and Microsoft Corp. expanded their global collaboration with the integration of Avaya OneCloud portfolio with Microsoft Azure.
This deal aims to provide organizations with more options to increase their productivity and customer engagement with reliability, agility, and scale.
Avaya Senior VP for Strategy and Alliances David Austin said that Microsoft’s global reach will help ”ensure that our joint customers rapidly deploy Avaya OneCloud solutions in any cloud environment of their choice with speed, agility, and cost competitiveness.”
For his part. Microsoft VP, Global ISV Partner Sales Casey McGee disclosed that many of their largest customers are using Avaya communications solutions.
McGee added “…offering Avaya OneCloud on Microsoft Azure gives them an additional opportunity to benefit from their investments while accelerating their cloud migration,
Aside from offering its services in Microsoft Azure, Avaya also earned a co-sell ready status, which means the firm will work directly with Microsoft sales teams and partners on joint selling and enablement opportunities.
Later this year, Avaya expects to further expand OneCloud CCaaS capabilities with Microsoft Teams integration.
