1 Avaya Video Communication High definition video for individuals and workgroups across the enterprise. Easy to use. Low bandwidth. Choice of end-points and capabilities. Avaya video communication solutions debunk the myth that video services are reserved for large workgroups and executives. These solutions enable you to cost effectively extend the same high definition, low bandwidth, feature rich video collaboration to users across your enterprise. Fully unified with your existing architecture, video-enabled communications work seamlessly across traditional large conference room systems, customer kiosks, web conferencing apps, desktop devices or on a more intimate scale between individual users and their soft clients. Avaya Video Conferencing Solutions enhance personal interactions between the many stakeholders in your business, including work teams, customers and partners. You can easily achieve fast resolution of issues and collaborative team outputs, enabling high productivity gains and customer satisfaction in the enterprise. Video communication removes the long distance barriers of a rapidly growing global business community, providing unrivalled communication for virtual workgroups. Video collaboration helps reduce travel costs both expense and time all with a greener footprint. In fact, according to a recent IDC 1 survey, 23% of respondents indicated that the top reason they find videoconferencing valuable is it increases the effectiveness of meetings. This underscores Avaya video as the next frontier in communications and a viable replacement for in person meetings between employees, clients and customers. Avaya delivers comprehensive and complete solutions, including components, design, implementation and management, giving the enterprise a single point of contact with the flexibility and choice to deploy solutions that address the unique needs of your business. Avaya video communication really is that simple. 1 Source: Worldwide Enterprise Videoconferencing and Telepresence Forecast Jonathan Edwards, IDC, 2009 PRODUCT BRIEF 1

2 Why Avaya? Video is a powerful component of the Avaya Aura platform. Avaya video solutions are built with open standards based SIP, providing multi-vendor interoperability between virtual workgroups within and even outside the enterprise. Fully unified with Ayaya Aura Session Manager, Avaya video solutions integrate with your existing architecture to maximize the functionality of your current applications for lower cost of total ownership while also provisioning more sophisticated deployments. Video can leverage your SIP trunking consolidation, offer connectivity to remote and mobile workers through a Session Border Controller, and even connect you with business partners in other companies. Cost effective, high-definition video can be deployed simply and managed with low bandwidth requirements, helping reduce the need for network upgrades. Avaya Video Communication Solutions consist of a suite of multimedia experiences and collaborative tools accessible to a variety of user types across the enterprise; ranging from more traditional large scale room systems through to individual and personalized end-points. Avaya 1010 and 1020 desktop video systems that provide large screen, HD clarity and office privacy Avaya 1030, 1040 and 1050 systems are designed for the conference or classroom. They utilize dual screens so documents and video content can be seen at the same time. Avaya one-x Communicator provides a software based interface for Click to call/click to Video that works alone or integrated with Microsoft and IBM software. Avaya one-x Agent brings the video experience to call center agents. Avaya Desktop Video Device brings video and all communications together in a rich, unique end user experience Intuitive features (once only associated with voice telephony) such as click to call, on-hold, forward, record and playback enable highly collaborative, synchronized and productive meetings Helping your business be more competitive Flexible, open, SIP based solutions. Avaya delivers open, SIP standards-based, multi-vendor, and evolutionary solutions that interoperate with your existing video systems and provide powerful unified integration with other Avaya applications such as presence federation. Leveraging Avaya Aura application enablement capabilities enables you to integrate your business applications and business process. Scalability lets you easily grow the solution to meet future demand, giving you added investment protection and value. With SIP at the core, and for call control, Avaya Video Conferencing provides access to customization and best in-class developer ecosystems for unlimited innovation, choice and differentiation for your enterprise. Fully unified voice and video network makes using video easy. The Avaya integrated communications platform supports voice and video, enabling simplified deployment, management and monitoring across the enterprise. It provides a standardized dial plan along with common directories, and seamless registration and authentication capabilities. Users simply dial an extension using a phone or soft phone, and the network automatically registers the video endpoints to launch an audio-video call. Users do not need to remember video IP addresses or use multiple devices, whether the video session is an internal strategy call or an external customer call. In addition, intelligent bandwidth management optimizes and prioritizes enterprise video traffic across the network. Low bandwidth requirements compliment network optimization and the architecture choices you have made for your enterprise. Provide cost effective and highly sophisticated video at the desktop. With video at the desktop, and remotely accessible through the use of soft-clients and remote video conferencing units, simple and productive visual collaboration is now available to knowledge workers across the enterprise. Avaya soft phones offer on-demand, peer-to-peer video, establishing video as a powerful tool that employees can leverage for impromptu or scheduled meetings. Desktop video offers rapid deployment at corporate headquarters, regional sites, home offices and almost any other location. Share content as well as video with your peers and partners. 2

3 Positive return on investment. Customers reporting back to Avaya who expected a 12 month return on their investment have seen positive returns between 6 and 9 months with Avaya video, and usage increases upwards of 30% in their first 6 months. Contact center deployments with video kiosk have measured up to 50% reductions in returned merchandise, reduced time to resolve customer issues (minutes versus hours), and overall cost savings of over 25% for their support services. Video for everyone. Providing interactive collaboration across the enterprise to drive highly productive virtual workgroups is fundamental for Avaya. Intuitive telephony features, interoperability and connectivity are keys to the successful extension of video from the core of your communication infrastructure. Contact Center applications. By adding video to existing contact center voice, IVR, and text communication, Avaya video communications help businesses collaborate directly with their clients using interactive and visual communications. Customers can watch an agent demonstrate an installation procedure and ask questions in real-time. Contact center agents can take calls from any source outside the enterprise including video phones, the internet, video kiosks, or cell phones. Video kiosks, for example, empower a customer to escalate a question in a physical branch location to an expert at another site, enabling companies to leverage knowledge workers across many locations. All this while providing faster response and resolution times for the customer with the added benefit of diminished costs for the business. Tailored and Packaged Video Solution Services.
