Avaya CTO: 'We Scale Much Better' Than Microsoft Skype For Business

Mark Haranas

How does Aura stack up against Cisco's UC Manager?

Cisco is a slightly different competitor. What we do better is things like session management. Cisco's session manager, which fits above the communication manager, it's a bit rudimentary compared to ours. So for large enterprise at scale from an administration point of view, co-routing and contact center routing, I think we have an edge.

In an Avaya world, we're able to move virtual machines across networks without losing a call. So the call lives in the virtual machine and travels with the virtual machine, so that's a very big thing for global enterprises. One thing to think about us against Cisco and Microsoft: We are the specialists in that world of communications and we do that technically better than anything else.
