An Education in Avaya Integration
- All of the solutions are tested to integrate fully with each other.
- Vendor support is excellent
- Avaya makes it easy to get documentation for their product
- In some products after the Nortel/Avaya merger we found were not quite ready for general release. It seemed that they were rushed to market. We had updates that were required almost on a monthly basis.
- I don't know if this has been addressed, but I would like to see the ANS (Avaya Notification Solution) use MS Lync for the desktop notification. At present it uses IBM SameTime for Desktop notification which seems processor intensive (multiple servers required)
Some of the systems are MS Windows server based, but most are Linux (RedHat or a variant - CentOS) so you will need to have someone knowledgeable in both Windows and Linux servers on staff in order to deep troubleshooting.
- The University has made it easier for students to contact the correct department the first time they call by using the automated attendent. This has lead to a better student experience and has helped lessen transferring the student.
- Emergency notifications are more efficiently made using the Web based interface or dialing a phone number into the Notification Solution. The university has a number published to all staff for emergencies that will activate our emergency alerts and lock all doors in the event of a hostile in the university, this is much quicker than manually locking the doors. A second number is published to the emergency staff to release the doors.
- For small conferences the 6 way bridge on the Avaya Communications Manager is much more cost effective than the large conference bridge used for larger conferences.
- SIP stations and the Session Border Controller has allowed the university to connect remote staff to the university phone system, allowing their phone calls to be transparent to students, this has saved the university cell phone costs since the calls are now routed via the Communications manager/session manager/Session boder controller to the internet to a hard phone in their home office.
I did at one time use the Cisco VoIP solution. This was a few years ago and at that time they did not have a call center solution. I did not like it as much since the administration required a second phone number for Voicemail access. This may not be true anymore.

Avaya ERS switch review
- Their software support is great. Released software has not had any significant issues in my experience.
- They have a breadth of hardware levels to provide just the right switch for a customer's needs without having the customer be forced to buy more switches than they need.
- They have great documentation for when you are trying to find an obscure feature and need to see how to implement it.
- The software update process currently uses two files. It would be great if you could use a single file to update the software.
- They do not include a console cable with their switches, although one is available for purchase.
- Since the switches are easy to implement, installs happen faster and have less issues after installation.
- Due to the reliability of the switches, we have less service calls.

Avaya's Aura - Good or Bad
As Avaya adds more features to the phone systems, the problems it is able to address grow. One of the main issues we faced was the ability to allow users to remotely call-forward phones. This feature is now deployed at all locations and the end-users have instructions for using the remote call-forward feature. This has reduced the number of user requests to have the telecom group do the forwarding.
- It has very good call center software and allows advanced programming for routing calls.
- Avaya has included many features in the Aura 6.x versions that used to be an addtional cost. This makes it much easier to provide advanced call programming at smaller offices that don't have a need to use all of the call center features.
- Avaya is very good at staying current with industry trends like supporting IP H.323 and SIP. This helps when a business wants to move to these models and away from the traditional TDM infrastructure. Avaya's IP phones are very easy to register and move and do not require the MAC address for programming changes.
- Maintenance is my biggest hassle. Now that Avaya has moved to a partner network for installations, it is very difficult to make sure the maintenance records are accurate and up to date. This process can be improved.
- Avaya has great tools for customer administration but it would be nice if more of the options in phone system were available for exporting using filtered lists. I would love to be able to export a list of all administered extensions versus the stations using the ASA export command.
- It seems whenever a new voicemail platfrom is introduced, some features are lost. When Avaya went from Intuity Audix to Modular Messaging, users originally lost the ability to have 9 personal greetings. This was added back in an upgrade release. Now Avaya has moved from Modular Messaging to Aura Messaging and they removed the ability to have the timezone as part of the class of service assigned to mailboxes. This means that companies using one Aura Messaging platform to support users in multiple timezones will need to make sure the timezone is correct when adding the mailbox instead of just choosing the class of service with the correct timezone.
- We were able to reduce customer hold time by 50% after implementing Avaya's Best Service Routing and Business Advocate. This has helped with call center performance and customer satisfaction.
- Avaya's OneX products allow employees to work from remote locations and still have the ability to answer business calls without call forwarding. This helps with employee efficiency and disaster recovery.
- By implementing an Avaya IR solution to handle requests for order status and price and availability checks, the number of calls routed to customer service agents decreased by 30%.
- The duplicate function is great. The 6.X systems allow users to duplicate stations, agent login IDs, hunt groups, VDNs and vectors. This makes programming much easier if all you need to change is the name or if you have a template in place to use when doing the initial programming.
- The list usage command is a wonderful command. It can be used for trouble shooting purposes or used to find all of the places where a particular extension is in use in the phone system.
- Vector Variables - these are awesome. Programming and using them is not for beginners but they make it so much easier to program call flows and make it easier to use the same programming for multiple inbound numbers but allow them to be treated differently.
- Trunk group measurements - If the system is not connected to an external call detail recording device or call management system, the trunk group measurement reports are not very useful. You can only get the current day or previous day peak hour information or the hourly information for the last 24 horus. It makes traffic studies really difficult.
- The inability to create loops when writing vectors. I am guessing this was done to prevent infinite loops but it is cumbersome programming when the call center wants to play a specific message after the call has been in queue for 5 minutes. Do While or For options would be nice.
- Finding some information can be difficult - it is not always located on the screens that you think it should be.
- Ease of administration is one of the biggest strengths of Avaya Solutions. The ability to configure multi-site Enterprise systems from one centralized administration application and make moves, adds, and changes is a key strength of the Avaya Solution.
- Avaya surviveabilty solutions are robust, multi-layered, and easy to deploy. When added with the ease of administration strength no other communication solution comes close.
- Avaya's mobility solutions enable communications from virtually anywhere on the planet. With features like EC500 which integrates your cellular phone to the voice network, to One-X Mobile which allows you to load an Avaya application on your smart-device, with Avaya you are always connected.
- Avaya could definitely improve it's convoluted licensing and registration processes. As a solutions implementer sometimes it can be difficult to navigate the maze of processes and steps required to get systems properly licensed and registered. There also tends to be long waits on registration confirmation. This increases total time to deployment.
- Some of the advanced applications positioning can be confusing. When you look at the complete solution portfolio of Avaya there are several advance applications that overlap each other in functionality. It can be difficult to suggest the correct solution.
- Avaya systems have improved our overall accessibility. With its mobility features customers are able to more effectively communicate with our employees which improves customer service. We achieved a 94% customer service rating on a recent survey.
- Avaya's new Virtualized servers require fewer resources to deploy. We are able to install the same amount of systems with a fraction of the resources. This allows us to install more systems as a company.
- This feature rings your cellular phone at the same time it rings your desk phone. The user is able to switch between the cellular and the desk phone while active on the call seamlessly.
- Voicemail to email integration allows voicemails to appear in your Outlook inbox.
