Avaya Introduces New Version of Avaya IP Office 8.1Jul 20, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Avaya announced the new version of its unified communications solution for small and mid-sized enterprises, Avaya IP Office 8.1, which adds capabilities to tap the full potential of next-generation collaboration. According to a release, this includes new mobility, management and security features -- as well as custom-built services -- to help SMEs efficiently and securely take advantage of BYOD environments and advanced mobility. Additionally, the company said, Avaya IP Office 8.1 -- which can serve SMEs as small as 5 employees -- now scales up to 1,000 users in a single location (up from 384). This gives mid-sized companies a more cost-effective, simplified way to manage more people on a network in one or multiple sites. It also provides Avaya business partners with new opportunities to provide mid-market customers with affordable, yet high-capability collaboration solutions. An April 2012 Forrester Research study on BYOD trends reported that 56 percent of SME workers who use a tablet for work say they bring in their own personal tablet, while 66 percent say the same for their smartphones. Avaya is a provider of business collaboration and communications solutions, providing unified communications, contact centers, networking and related services.
