Avaya to Showcase the Connected Experience at Enterprise Connect 2013

• Keynotes, panel sessions, live demos and more tie enterprise innovations to real-world results from the leader in open Unified Communications and Collaboration

Santa Clara, CA – As businesses seek new ways to extend and deepen relationships between highly mobile, device-fluent employees and their equally mobile device-fluent customers and suppliers, delivering a seamless, Connected Experience has never been more important. To create this connected experience, enterprises need secure, easy to use, reliable, affordable solutions that can flexibly accommodate business dynamics and deliver measurable benefits to the enterprise.

During his keynote speech and fireside chat at Enterprise Connect 2013, Avaya President and CEO, Kevin Kennedy will share insights into the advantages of the truly Connected Experience along with the key steps and considerations for achieving the maximum benefits for enterprises and end users. Kennedy’s keynote and fireside chat will be held on Tuesday, March 19, 11:00-11:30 am Eastern at the Gaylord Palms, Kissimmee, Florida.

The Connected Experience will also be reflected in the Avaya Booth # 1005 on the exhibit floor. Here, attendees can have hands-on demonstrations with experts representing products and services that are available today from Avaya’s innovative Collaboration, Unified Communications, Customer Experience Management and Networking portfolios.
