Avaya, Lenovo Bind in VoIP Deal

China-based PC manufacturer Lenovo and Avaya has reached out an agreement to spearhead in the areas of VoIP and unified communications solutions, which are in growing demand in the current telecom market.

According the joint deal, the two companies will work hand-to-hand to enhance the IP communications know-how on Thinkpad notebooks, ensuring the business enterprises strong security and high quality calling services from their notebook PCs.

It has happened for the first time that the renowned PC maker integrated its fingerprint reader and Password Manager technologies to support Avaya’s IP Softphone solution to improve user authentication with a filch of a finger.

Avaya feels the collaboration would enable “click-to-call” integration with Microsoft Office Communicator and IBM Lotus SameTime.

Both the companies announced that they will finish the integration by the end of third quarter this year.
