Avaya Aura® Suite Licensing
Version 2
Simplifying the Path to Collaboration
People-Centric
Collaboration Avaya makes it easy for midsize-to-large
enterprises to match different user
profiles and communication needs with
the Avaya Aura® Licensing Suites that
map to how and where people work.
Mapping Different Roles
and Needs to the Right
Tools
An enterprise is the sum of its parts, and
those parts have different needs and
different options when it comes to team
engagement. Avaya offers a complete
set of collaboration tools to make sure
every team member can engage, whether
with their peers or their customers.
Supporting the desktop user or the
remote worker, Avaya Aura® collaboration
provides the productivity tools necessary
for better business processes and better
business solutions.
If we look at the typical user groups, we
see:
•Business engagement means being
responsive to customers when they
need assistance. Worker productivity
depends on having the appropriate
communications interface available for
the situation, in the workplace or
remote.
• Team productivity means enterprise
tools designed to allow each employee
to contribute. Business efficiency
improves when each employee can
contribute and share their information
to support their peers, a combination
that offers sum value much greater than
any individual contribution.
Communications today is a combination
of voice and text, video and image,
information available whenever and
wherever needed.
The Avaya Aura solution is a
communications platform that offers
engagement solutions for the business
that addresses the concerns most
important to business growth and
success. The Avaya Aura solution
provides secure access for any user,
remote or on premise; it offers mobile
communication solutions for
smartphones and devices, even those
selected by the employees themselves;
it provides simple to use, on demand
meeting solutions, video, audio or web
based engagement. In addition, it
has provided the most reliable
communications platform for more
than 50 years.
The way we work is
changing
Workers are more distributed and mobile
than ever before. The ability to
collaborate is essential to maintain
alignment within teams, to drive
decisions to minimize business latency,
to innovate to establish competitive
advantage. These changes have to be
supported by a new architecture. Today’s
Unified Communications platform is a
set of software applications, running
on virtualized operating environments,
connecting both hard and soft
devices, extending any employee’s
reach far beyond the walls of a single
establishment. Each user will determine
the features they need to best perform
avaya.com | 1
their duties but the system has to
offer the features for them to choose.
Suite licensing bundles are an Avaya
idea to combine the features the
customer needs to do their job today
and support the features they might
need for business relationships in the
future. Suites provide immediate
benefits for any employee with
simpler choices and understandable
solutions. Additionally, bundling of
features helps ensure each user has
the capabilities they require while
offering the most economical total
cost of ownership (TCO) model for
the enterprise with a combination of
services and applications targeting
the user.
Suites Version 2
Avaya Aura Suite Licensing is further
simplifying the choices for our
customers ready to move to a full
business collaboration solution. Key
to the future of any enterprise is
accelerating its business processes
with the best solutions for worker
productivity and enterprise team
engagement. The Avaya Aura
Platform can offer these business
solutions. By reducing the number of
Suite bundles from the initial three
licensing packages (Foundation,
Mobility and Collaboration Suites) to
two licensing packages (Core and
Power Suites), Avaya offers a very
competitive set of features with an
even better value proposition for any
business opportunity. The Core Suite
combines the elements of the
Foundation Suite with Mobility
applications. The Power Suite is all of
the elements of the Core Suite with
enhanced Messaging applications and
Avaya Aura Conferencing.
empowered to rapidly make wellinformed decisions — anywhere,
anytime. In addition, we now permit a
customer with Core or Power Suites
to combine those licenses on the
same Communication Manager
instance as Foundation, Mobility or
Collaboration. This capability
supports customers that had moved
to Version 1 Suites and now are ready
to incorporate the business values of
Version 2.
