Integration of Avaya Desktop Tool and Netformx DesignXpert? Simplifies Converged Designs.

Netformx, a global leader in network design and proposal generation platforms purpose-built for the networking and telecom industry, today announced the addition of Avaya Inc., a leading global provider of business communications software, systems and services, to the Netformx Alliance Program. The addition of Avaya will enable DesignXpert? users to create converged network designs, quotes and proposals that incorporate many Avaya products and services quickly and easily.

More Design Options for DesignXpert Users

DesignXpert by Netformx streamlines the opportunity-to-order process, making it easier for network engineers to build enterprise networks quickly and accurately using powerful solutions such as Avaya’s Communication Manager, which organizes and routes voice, data, and image and video transmissions. Productivity gains as reported by DesignXpert users range from 50% to 80% with up to 99.99% design accuracy. This translates to more effective resource utilization, faster customer response time and reduction of costly errors.

Upon completion of the integration project in early Fall 2008, users of DesignXpert will be able to import XML output from Avaya’s desktop quoting tool, ASD. Select Avaya products will be graphically represented in the DesignXpert project enabling the user to manually adjust drawings to add other products, topology links and design details. DesignXpert will support importing multiple ASD quotes into a single DesignXpert project. Additionally, users will be able to manually drag and drop items from an Avaya folder in the Netformx KnowledgeBase? into DesignXpert and generate a converged bill of materials, proposal and other reports from DesignXpert.

“By joining the Netformx Alliance Program, Avaya gives channel partners access to easy-to-use tools that help build Avaya Communication Manager-based networks and allow them to be more productive,” said Pete Leuzzi, Vice President, North America System Integrator/Service Provider Channels, Avaya. “Customers will benefit from an end-to-end solution design and smoother deployments that get them up and running faster. We’re pleased to be working with Netformx and look forward to seeing our Avaya channel partners take off with the new DesignXpert tools.”

“Netformx takes pride in responding to its users needs and continually enhancing our extensive KnowledgeBase? by adding strategic Alliance members such as Avaya”, said Netformx CEO, Ittai Bareket. “Avaya partners and customers will soon be able to take advantage of the unique capabilities of DesignXpert enabling the delivery and creation of fully validated network “blueprints” that take advantage of the best available technologies and pricing. Faster proposal generation, more accurate proposals and comprehensive designs all lead to greater customer satisfaction, increased productivity and increased profitability for network design and systems integrators who use DesignXpert.”
