Black Box and Avaya Team Up on UCaaS Solutions: Expanding the Partnership to Europe

PITTSBURGH — Oct. 26, 2021 — Black Box, a leading global solutions integrator, and Avaya (NYSE:AVYA), a global leader in solutions to enhance and simplify communications and collaboration, have expanded their partnership to Europe to offer Black Box clients enterprise-wide unified communications and cloud-based collaboration solutions built on Avaya Cloud Office™ by RingCentral©. This makes Black Box an Avaya Cloud Office-certified partner in Europe and a strategic partner for Avaya OneCloud™ UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) and OneCloud™ CCaaS (Contact Center as a Service) solutions around the world.

"We are thrilled to have Black Box join us as an agent for Avaya Cloud Office™ and as an Avaya partner in the UK and Europe," said Ali Hastings, senior channel director, Avaya UK&I. "The extensive customer base that Black Box has across the market will help us accelerate the adoption of Avaya Cloud Office™ across Europe at a time when unified communications are becoming more important by the day."

In its "Work from Anywhere" study1, Avaya found that in the wake of COVID-19, nearly 72 percent of businesses surveyed are rethinking how they work; 58 percent feel remote working is enabling them to hire a more distributed workforce; and 8 out of 10 are retooling to provide improved customer and employee experiences. In addition, the study found that 3 out of 4 businesses are focusing more on employee and team communications, including cloud solutions.

Avaya OneCloud™ UCaaS offerings are redefining business operations by delivering seamless UC&C solutions that provide all-in-one voice, video, team messaging, file sharing, and fax services. More flexible and cost-effective than legacy on-premises PBX and video conferencing systems, the cloud solutions empower mobile, distributed, and work-from-home workforces to connect via any mode, any device, and any location.

Avaya solutions are customizable, modular, scalable, omnichannel, and can be integrated with leading third-party business applications. Avaya Cloud Office™ is a comprehensive cloud phone system and collaboration tool to revolutionize communications across all in-person and remote teams and locations. The featured suite of solutions in this partnership includes Avaya OneCloud™ UCaaS, as well as Avaya OneCloud™ CCaaS, part of the OneCloud Experience Platform that is enabling users to deliver effortless customer and employee experiences.

To help customers smoothly and successfully transition to the cloud, Black Box offers a full suite of implementation and support services through its Managed Migration Services, Black Box, long-known for its highly-skilled, hands-on global team of technical experts, can help organizations plan, deploy, and manage the communications solutions whether they have one site, hundreds of sites, or even thousands of remote workers.
