Avaya and Polycom to develop video and voice offering

Avaya is known for its Aura IP communications platform. Polycom is known for its telepresence, video and voice expertise. Together they are combining their two offerings for complete unified communications (UC) solution. The two companies plan to come together and market fully integrated, end-to-end UC solutions that use the Avaya Aura SIP-based platform and the Polycom Open Collaboration Network strategy.

Using the Aura platform as the control base for a full range of Polycom's voice and video systems, the new offering will ease the transition for companies looking to get into UC but find system requirements and interoperability issues daunting.
