About the Avaya Ecosystem
An Ecosystem is “a system of interacting and interdependent relationships.” For Avaya, this means
that our success is dependent upon the success of our partners. To help ensure that success, we’ve
created a variety of partnering programs ranging across the lifecycle of solution value creation, from
development and interoperability with Avaya products, to Go-to-Market programs for regional and
global partners alike, that extend product and service capabilities to our shared customer base in ways
Avaya could never deliver alone.
Among these ecosystem programs are Avaya’s DeveloperConnection and Global AlliancePartner
programs, each designed to deliver enablement and key go-to-market benefits with different types of
partners. These relationships combine the key strengths of both Avaya and its ecosystem members to
build a wide and flexible portfolio of customer solutions, including:
Co-developed software that integrates Avaya conferencing, collaboration, messaging, mobility, and
▶
contact center capabilities with leading business applications and middleware from ecosystem
members
Expertise in building complete communication solutions through strategic business and systems
▶
integration and project management to help maximize their return on investment
Business and technology consulting that helps customers with business process engineering and
▶
technology selection and migration to help reduce risk
Comprehensive network infrastructure expertise that encompasses servers, switches, routers,
▶
intelligent endpoint devices, and service provider networks to help reduce operational expenditures
End-to-end services and support – including (but not limited to) outsourcing/out-tasking services,
▶
managed services, and hosted solutions – that help customers manage costs and focus on their core
competencies
Through all of our programs, including the Avaya BusinessPartner and Consultant Relations programs,
Avaya and our extensive partner ecosystem can together help our customers reduce risk across their
enterprise, simplify their operations and gain competitive edge by transforming how communications can
be used for strategic advantage.

Avaya DeveloperConnection Program

The Avaya DeveloperConnection Program promotes the development, compliance testing and
co-marketing of innovative third-party products that are designed to utilize Avaya platforms or are
compatible with standards-based Avaya solutions. The use of open standards allows companies to
add new capabilities to their enterprise without having to replace their existing infrastructure. They can
integrate new Intelligent Communications applications into their operations and deliver vital information
to employees and customers wherever they are located and regardless the type of communication
device or network they use. As a result, companies are able to get more out of their communications
investment and can realize new possibilities for making their business more competitive.
