Avaya, a leading global provider of solutions that enable customer 
and team engagement, today announced that it has been awarded two prestigious industry awards in India which reflect its continued strength and innovation in both contact center applications and unified communications applications.
At a recent award ceremony in New Delhi hosted by leading industry analyst firm Frost & Sullivan, Avaya collected the awards for both 2015 Unified Communications (UC) Application Vendor of the Year and 2015 Contact Center (CC) Application Vendor of the Year in India.
In delivering the awards, Frost & Sullivan focused on how Avaya successfully combined best-in-class innovative technology initiatives 
and effective execution of business strategies. Avaya delivered exemplary performance with revenue growth of over 35 percent in CC applications and 32.5% in UC applications, according to Frost & Sullivan. The firm highlighted how Avaya secured new deals in the customer engagement space, especially in the ITeS, BFSI, and e-commerce verticals where more businesses were investing in an omnichannel strategy. Avaya was also commended for its team engagement and unified communications approach in creating a cloud portfolio, which allowed a number of Indian partners to develop UC as a service (UCaaS) offerings.
The award criteria included revenue, market share, product introduction, innovation, diversity of products and solutions, customer acquisitions, product service value, and positioning. Data was presented to a jury panel of industry CIOs, CTOs and other senior leaders who determined overall winners.
