Samsung Electronics and Avaya Extend Intelligent Communications to Mid-Sized Businesses | Samsung Business Global Networks

Avaya MultiVantage Express provides bundled communications applications on a single server for mid-sized businesses and was recently named a “MidMarket Product of the Year” by CMP Media’s VARBusiness magazine.

Underlying these solutions is use of the SIP standard. SIP technology provides enhanced collaborative communications to greatly improve business processes, support low-cost endpoints, and provide access to carrier-provided services that reduce overall networking costs.

“This is a perfect example of how synergy can be realized-by combining the strengths of two companies,” said Woon Sub Kim, executive vice president of Samsung’s Telecommunications Network Business. “The UbigateTM iBG Series and MultiVantageTM Express solution provide excellent value to mid-sized customers. Samsung also intends to introduce additional products and capabilities that target small and medium businesses and branch offices of mid-to-large enterprises.”

“This solution shows the power that SIP-based IP telephony can deliver to mid-sized enterprises,” said Micky Tsui, group vice president, Global Communications Solutions, Avaya. “By adhering to industry standards, Avaya and Samsung are delivering high value solutions with a cost-effective, flexible foundation, enabling mid-sized companies to use IP telephony to serve their customers better and improve productivity — today, and for years to come.”

The initial platform being launched in the Ubigate iBG product family is the UbigateTM iBG3026. The iBG Series, which Avaya will sell as a co-branded offering, is targeted to mid-sized businesses. The Ubigate iBG Series’ single unit design decreases the total cost of ownership by allowing more simplified network administration. It has the tools necessary to manage user communications effectively and securely. End-user-controllable features and applications reduce IT support needs by enabling greater self-service flexibility.
