Veramark’s Telecom Expense Management Software Rated "Avaya Compliant"

VeraSMART 8.0, Veramark’s integrated Telecom Expense Management (TEM) application platform, is compatible with key Avaya IP telephony solutions; Helps organizations gain visibility into, and control over, their telecom usage and expenses

PITTSFORD, N.Y. - Veramark Technologies, Inc. (VERA.OB), a leading Telecom Expense Management (TEM) provider, today announced that its VeraSMART Communications Management Suite is compliant with key internet protocol (IP) telephony solutions from Avaya, a leading global provider of business communications applications, systems and services.

VeraSMART helps organizations gain visibility into their communications networks and reduce expenses associated with their voice, data, and wireless services and infrastructure. The application now is compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with Avaya’s Communication Manager 5.1 (R015x.01.0.414.3 w/ SP 15962).

“As an OEM partner to Avaya since 1984, Veramark has a long-standing relationship with Avaya customers and an ongoing commitment to help them reduce their telecommunication costs,” said Tony Mazzullo, Veramark’s president and chief executive officer. “Compliance with Avaya’s telephony solutions is a key requirement for each release of our VeraSMART software and allows us to continue to meet the telecom expense management needs of companies that use Avaya Communication Manager 5.1. This commitment to our customers is one reason why more than any other TEM solution, Avaya installations use Veramark for telecom expense management,” said Mazzullo.

Veramark is a member of the Avaya DevConnect program - an initiative to develop, market and sell innovative third-party products that interoperate with Avaya technology and extend the value of a company’s investment in its network.

As a Platinum member of the program, Veramark is eligible to submit products for compatibility testing by the Avaya Solution Interoperability and Test Lab in Lincroft, N.J. There a team of Avaya engineers develops a comprehensive test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya compliant. Doing so ensures businesses can confidently add best-in-class capabilities to their network without having to replace their existing infrastructure — speeding deployment of new applications and reducing both network complexity and implementation costs.

“By participating in Avaya’s compliance testing program and committing to open standards, development partners like Veramark are helping businesses get more out of their network investment,” said Eric Rossman, vice president, developer relations and technical alliances, Avaya. “Our customers are able to easily communications-enable critical business processes, change the way they work and uncover new value that can help them build their bottom line.”
