Avaya GlobalConnect and OKI partner to provide IP based voice solutions in India
Complete value for money for Small and Medium enterprises
April 26, 2007, New Delhi, India -- Avaya GlobalConnect., one of India's leading providers of business communications applications, systems and services, and Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd., Japan's leading IP communication solution company today announced a strategic partnership in India. This partnership to develop IP enabled 'value for money' voice solutions for Small and Medium enterprises, will define a new era in digital communications and convergence.
The two players have jointly launched a product called "IPstage® EX100" that provides all the basic PBX features and network interfaces. The IPstage SX/MX/EX will be primarily positioned towards the low and medium end SME market and will target the Government, Public Sector Undertakings and Indian corporates looking for basic telephony functionality with IP compatibility.
"It is a privilege to have OKI, a leader in network solution, as a strategic partner," said Soum Mukherjee, Head-SMB Avaya GlobalConnect. "This relationship validates the strength of our technology and engineering talent."
IPstage EX100 is a high cost performance IP-PBX which offers high voice quality and various features ranging from conventional PBX systems, to full IP systems, seamlessly. With the introduction of new low-cost IP multi-key phones, MKT-IP-20DHS, the most updated advantages of IP-PBX become available with the same level of investment as the conventional PBX system. When the IP stage EX100 is deployed as a conventional PBX with existing analog phones, it can be up-graded to IP-PBX when a LAN environment becomes available.
"We have identified Avaya GlobalConnect as a key strategic partner for OKI for basic telephony functionalities with IP compatibility," said Masatoshi Saito, vice president of IP Systems Company at Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. "We believe this relationship will extend our competency in IP Telephony for the SME market in the Indian market."
