Avaya’s solutions combine resources, insights, and knowledge from across the organization to deliver outstanding customer and employee experiences
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — July 2, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the North American workforce engagement management (WEM) market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE:AVYA), a global leader in solutions to enhance and simplify communications and collaboration, with the 2020 North American Growth Innovation Leadership Frost Radar Award. The Avaya OneCloud contact center-as-a-service (CCaaS) portfolio provides customer and workforce engagement solutions supplemented by capabilities such as artificial intelligence (AI)-infused bots, predictive routing, real-time sentiment analysis, and agent guidance. These capabilities connect all touchpoints across the customer journey including voice, video, chat, messaging, social, and screen.
“Avaya’s capabilities can intelligently transition customer needs from self-service AI to human interaction and deliver a personalized journey across the entire organization, from front- to back-office, for superior CX,” said Nancy Jamison, industry director. “Its developer tools and APIs allow in-house and partner developer communities to innovate and integrate applications. Some of its notable AI- and mobility-based products include Avaya Conversational Intelligence, Avaya Mobile Experience, Avaya Mobile Identity, and Avaya AI Routing.”
Avaya’s flexible CCaaS options, supporting public, private, and hybrid deployment, enable customers to leverage the cloud model best suited to their business needs. The Avaya OneCloud CCaaS portfolio provides customer and workforce engagement solutions supplemented by capabilities such as AI-infused bots, predictive routing, and real-time sentiment analysis, and agent guidance. Also, its OneCloud UCaaS solutions can function in all environments, as can Avaya Cloud Office. Frost & Sullivan recognizes Avaya as one of the few providers with a full line of devices and endpoints. It complements its continued R&D investment with technology partnerships, including majors such as Verint, Afiniti, Nuance, Google, Avaya’s A.I.Connect and DevConnect programs, to round out its full-stack of WEM and WEM-supporting products.
“In an evolving economy where experience is a differentiator for brands, we are honored to be recognized for our commitment to enhancing customer and employee experiences for our clients,” said Anthony Bartolo, Avaya executive vice president and chief product officer. “Avaya continues it’s ongoing investment in customer-led innovation and expanding our ecosystem of technology partners that work with us to deliver a robust portfolio of customer engagement, workforce engagement management and workforce optimization solutions. This award helps highlight that in a sea of contact center providers, Avaya is far differentiated by our breadth of WEM solutions and experience, over anyone else in the field.”

Overall, it is set to lead the industry with a converged UC and contact center platform that can redefine WFO for unique CX and EX, even beyond contact centers,” noted Jamison. “Strong partnerships and substantial investments in R&D have positioned Avaya for notable growth in 2020.”
