Avaya Enables Midea to Provide 'Cool' Services to Its Air Conditioner Customers in Hot Summer
Thursday August 18, 9:30 am ET


BEIJING, Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The unusual hot weather this summer in many parts of China, while boosting sales of air conditioners, has also proved to be a major "test" for the service quality of the market players. One of China's largest air conditioner vendors, Midea Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd (Midea), continues to deliver first rate customer services to consumers all over the country, with the help of a highly efficient contact center based on solutions from Avaya Inc. (NYSE: AV - News), a leading global provider of business communications software, systems and services.


Midea put its new contact center into use in June, in anticipation of the busy season in the next three months, and adopted the Avaya S8700 media server and G650 media gateway to build a new platform for customer service. This new system has greatly enhanced capacity and response speed of the contact center, and also enabled Midea to provide personalized services.

"Competition within the air conditioner market has gone beyond price wars, advertising wars, and the so called 'new concept' wars. Nowadays consumers are more and more concerned about the service levels. They want to be convinced that they can get timely and high quality services, from consulting, implementation to maintenance," said Kuang Guangzheng, IT Director of Midea.

Midea who has more than 20 million air conditioner users in the country, demands that the new contact center can handle large volume of calls efficiently, and with high availability and flexibility. Midea believes that every interaction with the client is a unique experience of Midea brand, and wants to make sure these interactions are always pleasant and efficient. The Avaya platform has performed well during this hot summer season and met the needs of Midea, according to Mr. Kuang.

The contact center, now with 100 seats, can handle twice as many calls as before. The Avaya ACD technologies also provide advanced call routing functions, which enable the agents to handle calls more efficiently. This has greatly reduced drop-off rates, and enhanced the productivity of the whole contact center.

The Avaya solution will also allow Midea to extend the current contact center to a distributed one in the future, and allow placement of IP agents in different locations. This will allow for more flexibility and responsiveness, and help Midea to service consumers in a more cost effective and personalized way.

Apart from enhancing sales and customer service level, Kuang believed that in the long run, the new contact center will help Midea in building a "customer centric" culture within the whole company.

Mr. Chen Xianghui, Avaya Regional Manager of South China, said:" Contact Center is far more than just taking calls. They are becoming increasingly intelligent with the help of IP Telephony technologies. Avaya, as a market leader with rich experiences and a clear vision of the future, is committed to help Chinese companies create real business value and obtain competitive advantages from their 'intelligent' contact centers."

Avaya Surpasses Seven Million IP Telephony Line Shipments
Tuesday August 16, 3:00 am ET 
India's ING Vysya Bank Uses IP Enabled Avaya Contact Center Express to Launch Its 'Customer Service Line'


BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Avaya Inc. (NYSE: AV - News), a leading global provider of business communications applications and services, today announced it has passed the seven million line milestone for IP telephony shipments. The recipient of the seven millionth line is ING Vysya Bank, one of India's leading private sector banks. ING Vysya is capitalizing on the capabilities of the IP enabled Avaya Contact Center Express to launch its 'Customer Service Line' which will ensure 24x7 availability of phone banking service to its customers across India and enable the bank to serve more customers and improve response time.


Avaya also said that its IP line shipments surpassed traditional line shipments this year, further demonstrating Avaya's global momentum in a growing market.

Avaya is the worldwide leader in IP telephony line shipments for first quarter 2005 with a 21 percent share, maintaining that position for the sixth consecutive quarter, according to Synergy Research Group.(1)

"The adoption of IP telephony by enterprises is growing markedly, as demonstrated by a more than 70 percent year-over-year growth noted in the first quarter of this year," said Jeremy Duke, president and CEO, Synergy Research Group. "And yet, the major part of the adoption curve still lies ahead. Avaya is already well-positioned as a major force in this market."

In 2004, IP telephony accounted for eight percent of the 423 million total enterprise telephony lines installed worldwide, a figure that is increasing rapidly as companies migrate from traditional telephony systems to gain the benefits of converged voice and data. The overall market for IP lines installed is expected to quadruple by 2007. (2)

"Businesses are beginning to understand the true value of IP telephony lies in the integration of communications applications and business applications," said Don Peterson, chairman and CEO, Avaya. "We call this Intelligent Communications, and it is leading to a redefinition of business processes while creating new business models and greater customer satisfaction."

Intelligent Communications seamlessly connects communications applications and business applications, giving workers, customers and processes the ability to be linked to the right person, at the right time, by the right medium -- voice, text and video -- over any network. This right-time, right-choice communications gives businesses and workers increased agility through greater speed, responsiveness to customers and control over communications.

Avaya helps businesses like ING Vysya migrate to IP Telephony using a path and pace that aligns with a company's business needs and budget. With a commitment to open standards, and software and web-based technologies, Avaya is building on its heritage as an innovator in voice, IP telephony and contact centers, and its delivery of reliable, secure solutions that work on any network, to lead the transition to this new era of intelligent applications.

The Avaya MultiVantage(TM) Communications Applications portfolio, which includes Avaya Communication Manager, the company's flagship IP Telephony software, contact center, messaging, conferencing and mobility applications, enables companies to more easily integrate the business applications and processes that give them a competitive edge.

Avaya Helps Allstate Insurance Company Enhance Customer Service With IP Telephony
Wednesday October 5, 7:00 am ET


BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Avaya Inc. (NYSE: AV - News), a leading global provider of business communications applications, systems and services, announced today that Allstate Insurance Company has deployed Avaya Internet protocol (IP) telephony solutions to new locations in the U.S. and Canada.


Avaya's IP-based contact center applications, powered by the Avaya Customer Interaction Suite, are used by Allstate to manage customer calls and route them intelligently based on customer-entered criteria. Allstate links their contact centers and manages them as a single, virtual organization -- routing customers to the employee best able to handle a claim or inquiry based on language or area of expertise, regardless of where the call originates. As part of their implementation, Allstate has deployed over 10,000 IP endpoints across its organization.

The new network evolves Allstate's existing Avaya communications infrastructure, continuing to support both traditional and IP telephony concurrently, and allowing the insurer to evolve its operations at its own pace. Both traditional and IP telephony endpoints are able to communicate while the transition is underway and can be managed as part of a single network.

"How satisfied our customers are depends on how responsive we are when they have major life events such as Hurricane Katrina," said Catherine Brune, senior vice president and chief information officer for Allstate. "We need to be able to ramp up our customer care operations quickly and efficiently when a hurricane, tornado or other disaster creates a spike in claims activity. Avaya's IP telephony solutions are a natural fit and already help us pull in additional resources and improve responsiveness to our policyholders when they need us the most -- as well as to operate our business more efficiently on a day-to-day basis."

Allstate is also using Avaya IP solutions to enhance the business continuity of its own operations during catastrophic events. Using any telephone, PC or laptop computer, employees are able to log into the network from home or another work location and make and receive calls just as if they were in the office. This includes equipping workers with the Avaya IP Softphone -- a software-based phone on one's PC or laptop -- which enables Allstate to tap the talents of mobile employees and telecommuters in locations other than 'brick and mortar' contact center facilities.

"The solutions used by Allstate reinforce the significant value IP telephony brings to businesses who must address real-time challenges quickly and efficiently, while ensuring the highest levels of customer service and satisfaction," said Lou D'Ambrosio, group vice president, Avaya. "Avaya's IP telephony and contact center solutions help businesses of all kinds use intelligent communications to connect people, processes and customers in a 24/7 world."

The Avaya communications solution for Allstate is based on Avaya Communication Manager, the company's industry-leading IP telephony software that delivers intelligent communications capabilities to businesses. Avaya Media Servers and Gateways are used to host the software and distribute more innovative communications features to employees, regardless of where they are based. Backup servers provide seamless survivability capabilities if a connection to the primary server is lost.

Market Scan
Avaya May Have 30%-50% Upside To Market In Near Term
Ed Lin, 10.05.05, 9:48 AM ET

Avaya



SG Cowen said Avaya (nyse: AV - news - people ) "is on track to meet our above-consensus estimates for the fiscal fourth quarter," excluding the dilution of 1 cent per share from the acquisition of Nimcat.

SG Cowen said, "Not only has the company started to improve its North American execution, but Tenovis seems to be track in terms of both integration and execution. Finally, new products targeting branch offices and enterprise mobility should drive continued growth."

Avaya shares could outperform the market by 30% to 50% over the next 12 months, the research firm said.

The firm said its checks showed that Avaya's fiscal fourth quarter ended September will show upside to a Thomson First Call consensus estimate for earnings of 17 cents per share on $1.28 billion in revenue. "We have heard that the quarter was linear, little push at the end of the quarter, and Avaya had won several large managed services contracts," SG Cowen said.

SG Cowen expects Avaya to earn 19 cents per share on revenue of $1.30 billion in the fiscal fourth quarter.
