The IP Office is Avaya’s primary product line for small to medium-sized businesses. It is a hybrid PBX that is legacy digital technology at the core, but adds on VoiP and SIP support. The Server Edition is Avaya’s newest addition to the product line, and is delivered on an HP server. IP Office is a highly modular IP telephone system designed to meet the needs of home offices, standalone businesses, and networked branch and head offices for small and medium enterprises. The award-winning IP Office gives growing companies a complete solution for telephony, messaging, networking, conferencing, customer management, and unified communications.
IP Office is a versatile communications solution that combines the reliability and ease of a traditional telephony system with the applications and advantages of an IP telephony solution. This converged communications solution can help businesses reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve customer service. Avaya believes that customers should be supported in migrating to IP telephony at their own pace, following their own path. Clients can use a mix of digital, analog and IP technology and still take advantage of all the applications that convergence provides.
