Avaya Sales Leadership and Partner Conference Nov. 7-9, 2011
The theme of this year’s event was “Accelerating Growth: The Power of We”, at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The conference highlighted Avaya’s new branding “The Power of We” along with the Faster, Smarter, Better concept – explaining that Avaya offers what every business leader needs: technology that gets the right people together with the right information, at the right time. Customers need solutions that increase productivity and simplify complexity that provides cost savings and a maximum return on investment.
At the conference, Dr. Alan Baratz, Avaya Senior Vice President and President of Global Communications Systems, said “2012 is all about solutions and the focus will be in four key areas: video collaboration, mobile collaboration, enhanced customer experience and network simplification. It’s important that we focus on these because at the end of the day it’s about selling customer value and focusing on the use cases that create that value or solve problems for our customers. These solutions enable those use cases and our products underlie the solutions.”
As a premier partner with Avaya, Avatel supports the initiative to move from selling individual products to selling end-to-end solutions that address customer needs. Avatel believes that this approach is more proactive rather than reactive with a more consultative approach to our customers.
During the keynote address, Avaya President and CEO Kevin Kennedy discussed Avaya’s plans for 2012 to accelerate growth with opportunities based on what he terms “the evolving enterprise”. He feels that many of these opportunities will be influenced by:
- The consumerization of IT – Tablets and mobile phones are the way people do business and the only way to participate is to provide enterprise experiences on consumer platforms going forward.
- The benefits of a SIP network and its interoperability, with cost savings associated with a converged voice/data network. Create flexible business collaboration in the next phase of voice and unified communications behind SIP and fit-for-purpose technologies.
- Virtualized communications platform for cloud computing. Create an evolving business model with SIP as a driver of the model.
Avaya and Avatel are prepared to attack these trends around platforms such as:
- Avaya VENA, the data networking architecture
- Avaya Aura, the virtualized communications platform
- Avaya IP Office, the SME platform,
- Avaya collaboration platform Flare
- Avaya Agile Communication Environment (ACE), the software platform used for embedding
This is an exciting time to be an Avaya partner, as Avaya continues to position the company as the undisputed leader in business collaboration with focus on innovation and transforming customers’ infrastructures to improve their collaborative capabilities.

The Avatel Small Business Summit and Technology Showcase
The event was held at the beautiful A La Carte Event Pavilion on December 14th and was the ideal venue for Avatel, Avaya, and other experts to offer their insight into a range of topics and issues that are of utmost importance to small businesses.
Our purpose for the event was to demonstrate a clear view on the present and future of communication technology and to educate small and medium size businesses on the technologies that provide them with new ways to serve their customers better without driving up operating costs. Our guests learned how small businesses have achieved success with strong communications strategies that make it easy for their customers to do business with them, and help them rise above the competition.
The technology showcase allowed the guests to connect with Avaya and other respected vendors who displayed the latest in technology. Our guests enjoyed lunch in a waterfront setting and learned how to increase productivity and efficiency in a targeted and educational setting with hands-on demonstrations.
The Avatel event, titled “Prepare your Small Business for Success” welcomed over 65 customers and partners and featured new ways to serve customers better and unleash hidden productivity within small business. We explored ways for successful companies to do more with less - keeping their business flexible, innovative and competitive.
While the Small Business Summit and Technology Showcase was an opportunity for customers to learn more about Avaya’s latest products and technology, the event was also a valuable opportunity to network with other SME businesses. The educational -style event explored new ways regarding how technology is impacting and improving business.
The key note presentation provided every guest with an opportunity to understand the latest Avaya developments and state-of-the-art technologies. We feel that the companies that are going to succeed are the ones that are looking closely at what drives success in their businesses and are strategically mapping technology to improve their key success factors.
Feedback from the guests at the event has been extremely positive: ”Just a quick note to thank you for an excellent Technology Showcase. I was amazed at some of the new technology and I will pass along this information/brochures to our Corporate Offices in NYC & Plano, Texas. Also, your staff is well informed and easy to speak with. I hope that we avail ourselves of Avatel Products in the near future. Thank you”. Jack Van Vooren, Director of Sales and Marketing Genikon Corporation.
Other experts participating from our partnering organizations were:
- Plantronics - The industry's most complete family of corded and wireless headset products
- Polycom - The worldwide leader in video and voice conferencing
- EnGenius - The leader in long range cordless phones
- LifeSize - HD video system that delivers telepresence-quality
- Avaya Financial Services - Innovative financing solutions for telecom and data products and services

This event was a milestone for Avatel and we would like to offer a special thanks to Avaya’s SME Vice President, Adnon Dow and Mark Massingham, the Avaya Presenter. Thanks to our great relationship with Avaya and our other partnering experts, Avatel will continue to conduct more powerful events like this in the future.
Best Regards,
Jamie Wood, Avatel EVP
