San Francisco, CA: UTDi, an Avaya Platinum Business Partner headquartered in California, is announcing that it is poised to offer a solutions roadmap for Nortel customers witnessing the sale of the company’s voice enterprise division to Avaya. Nortel’s Enterprise Solutions group, which develops and markets switches, routers and telephony gear to businesses is slated to become the sole property of Avaya. This move is part of Nortel’s efforts to sell off its assets to emerge from bankruptcy in the hopes of repositioning itself as a viable competitor in the data networking and telecom space.
As a long-time Nortel channel partner and an Avaya National Platinum Partner , UTDi is authorized to market and sell Nortel solutions and can work with current Nortel clients to help them to develop a technical roadmap that will guide internal strategy moving forward. UTDi’s working knowledge of both Avaya and Nortel solutions positions the company as a key value provider for those clients seeking to move forward with solution decisions in spite of the market changes for Nortel.
UTDi is also ready to address outside threats from such players as Cisco and Juniper, both ready to aggressively poach Nortel’s switching customers at every possible opportunity. UTDi will build on its value proposition of allowing current Nortel customers to remain in their existing environments, while offering complementing Avaya solutions. This strategy with allow them to maximize their current asset investments and enjoy the high quality service to which they become accustomed while planning and developing investment protection for the future.
Avaya has had its sights set on delivering value for Nortel partners for some time. The company announced earlier this year that it has developed a new program to attract Nortel resellers to the Avaya Business Partner program. Avaya positioned the program such that new Nortel partners would be fast-tracked with concepts and incentives that would enable them to quickly deliver Avaya’s innovative unified communications and contact center solutions to businesses of all sizes throughout the world.
As a National Avaya Platinum Business Partner, UTDi has demonstrated its strength in the market, specifically in the four verticals of Commercial, (SLE) State, Local Education, and Healthcare, and the Federal sector. The company has seen double digit grow in an economy that is bent on downsizing and has been recognized by Avaya for Outstanding Federal Sales for 2008. With its current performance in the market, Nortel clients will gain a valuable partner with industry knowledge and experience that is unsurpassed in this space.
“In a market where mergers and acquisitions tend to be everyday news, this latest move for Avaya creates significant opportunity for both UTDi and current Nortel clients,” said Lyhn Haller, UTDi CEO. “The market is constantly changing, creating new challenges for both vendors and providers. UTDi can provide the support and solutions strategy necessary to enable Nortel clients to conduct business as usual with unmatched support.
We are providing them with a way to maintain current assets and maximize their value in the market.”
