Avaya Solutions on ThinkPad NBs
Techtree News Staff, Mar 08, 2007 1540 hrs ISTLenovo and Avaya have announced plans to collaborate on IP and unified communication solutions for ThinkPad notebooks.
Lenovo and Avaya have announced plans to collaborate on IP and unified communication solutions for ThinkPad notebooks.
As per terms of the deal, the two companies will work together to enhance the IP communications experience on ThinkPad notebooks, giving business users the highest levels of security, usability, and quality of service, when making or receiving calls from notebook PCs.
The joint solution will help Lenovo's integrated fingerprint reader and password manager technologies to support Avaya's IP soft phone solution, to boost user authentication with just the swipe of a finger.
Users will be able to gain secure biometric access to communications capabilities, with just one touch of the fingerprint reader located on the wrist pad of notebook PCs. This feature will transform the keyboard illumination function into a visual alert to check voice mail.
Peter Hortensius, Senior Vice President of Lenevo's notebook business unit, said, "Today's professionals work and communicate with colleagues and family at all hours of the day, and from different locations outside the office, so it is increasingly important that they have efficient and cost-effective communication tools. Avaya's IP telephony solutions, combined with ThinkPad notebooks, allow users to take their office phone with them on their PCs, and securely make calls while at home or on the road."
Eileen Rudden, Vice President and General Manager for Unified Communications, Avaya, said, "Avaya's Unified Communications initiatives increase the communication and collaboration capabilities available to ThinkPad notebook users, such as 'click-to-call' integration with Microsoft Office Communicator or IBM Lotus SameTime, helping support more productive activities."
The first version of the Avaya unified communications solution for ThinkPad notebooks is planned for the third quarter of 2007.
