Avaya IP Office vs Avaya Aura

Avaya IP Office VS Avaya Aura

Which is the Best Solution – Avaya Aura Communications Manager or IP Office?

When it comes down to choosing between two great products, it can be quite difficult to pick between two. Both Avaya Aura Communications Manager and IP Office are excellent in their own right, the only main distinction is the fact that IP Office is much better suited to scenarios with under 1000 users. If your requirements exceed 1000 users, then Avaya Aura Communications Manager may be a better idea.

Below we will look in depth at what each offers. Let’s compare Avaya IP Office Vs Avaya Aura!

Avaya IP Office

Avaya IP Office starts with a minimum of five users and can be easily scaled up to 1,000 users at either one site or in as many as 150 locations. It makes it possible for your

mobile workforce to not only collaborate but also promote business from any device, at any time and from any place. This true plug-and-play system helps to reduce your IT overhead and rolls out various applications effortlessly to your staff. Click-to-call capabilities are provided by WebRTC applications from Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce.com and Google for Work. You can also rely on the support services of Avaya to optimise the performance of your solutions, ensure that system up-time is maximised and protect your Avaya technology investment.

  2. Business Communications That Provides Engagement From Everywhere- Allow for unlimited commerce no matter what the application, device, time or place. Employees can engage at any time or anywhere to create value and capture opportunities.
  3. Administration Made Easy-Centrally manage your IP Office solution using web-based administration to eliminate IT headaches whether you have five users or a thousand, or as many as 150 sites located all over the world or just one location.

Stay Connected From Anywhere, For Non-Stop Productivity

You no longer have to be out of the office while you are on the road. Every staff member has only one number that can be used by customers to reach them on any device and in any location. To assure privacy, all calls get routed through your office. Carrier charges can be reduced by using available WiFi to make calls. Remote and mobile staff can be given in-office capabilities from almost any device, including instant messaging, conference control and access to your corporate directory. An IP phone from home can be used by your staff via an Avaya Session Border Controller without the need for VPN overhead. See this page for an extended list of the features of Avaya IP Office.
