Westcon, an IT distributor focused on security, UCC, networking, data center, cloud, global deployment, and services, has launched a scalable, cloud-delivered solution Powered by Avaya IP Office for its reseller customers. The Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) solution will be marketed through Westcon’s base of solution providers to its end-user customers.
The UCaaS solution Powered by Avaya IP Office is the latest offering between Westcon and Avaya. The new agreement seeks to help VARs meet the growing demand for UCaaS in the market, providing businesses with the opportunity to migrate from a traditional capital expenditure to an operating expense (OpEx) model with a turnkey solution.
“Avaya has been supplying innovative unified communications solutions for a long time. Our customers now have the capability to generate additional monthly recurring revenue and create a more profitable, more sustainable revenue stream for the long term, as well as the opportunity to get closer to their own clients,” says Barat Dickman, vice president and general manager of Unified Communications and Collaboration at Westcon.
Additionally, Westcon has partnered with TelAgility, a provider of hosted platforms, to deliver the UCaaS turnkey solution. TelAgility’s hosted service includes compliance and taxation functionality, attractive to solution providers as a value-added service as they fold-in their own services for delivering a complete solution to customers.
The Westcon UCaaS solution Powered by Avaya IP Office is available in the United States now and will be offered in Canada by early next year.
