Avaya is Redefining Customer and Employee Experience Solutions to Address the Emerging Needs of the Multiexperience Economy

Innovation with an Expanding Technology and Partner Ecosystem is Enabling Smart, Simple, More Personalized Communications to Fuel Business Transformation

Avaya ENGAGE 2020 – Phoenix, AZ – February 3, 2020 – Embracing the shift to a blended model for business communications that encompass customer and employee experience, Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE: AVYA) brings multiexperience to the forefront at its Avaya ENGAGE 2020 user conference this week, empowering organizations with the communications and collaboration solutions they need to work smarter and engage with customers and employees more effectively.

Organizations want new solutions that combine customer and employee communication and collaboration apps to address the evolving needs of the experience economy. Avaya has been leveraging the breadth of its portfolio to blend these solutions for a more seamless, converged communications platform to deliver optimal business outcomes.

“Major trends are accelerating rapidly and opening the doors to completely new ways to communicate and collaborate – from the shift to cloud, the growth of video and mobile across the enterprise, to harnessing the power of AI and machine learning,” said Jim Chirico, Avaya President and CEO. “Market leaders are disrupting the status quo, not just by innovating in one of these areas, but by bringing new technologies together across the communications infrastructure to transform customer and employee experiences.”

Through 2028, analysts forecast that the user experience for customers and employees will undergo further shifts based on how they interact with the digital world. Gartner predicts, “by 2021, at least one-third of enterprises will have deployed a multiexperience development platform to support mobile, web, conversational and augmented reality development.”*

“Today, we are experiencing change at a stunning pace, and Avaya continues to rapidly innovate high-impact solutions based on deep insight into our changing digital landscape,” said Simon Harrison, Avaya Chief Marketing Officer. “A multiexperience approach to blending unified communications, contact center and collaboration tools can provide an extremely useful way to address these changes and help organizations and their customers frame their strategies for adapting to the future.”
