MISSISSAUGA, Ontario — Avotus Corporation, a leading provider of Telecom Management Services, including Expense Management (TEM), eProcurement, and Usage Management solutions, today announced that its Avotus Professional version 3.19 is compliant with key Internet protocol (IP) telephony solutions from Avaya, a global provider of business collaboration systems, software and services.
 
Avotus Professional helps businesses view usage, traffic and costing data across virtually all organization levels. The application now is compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with Avaya Communication Server 1000 Release 7.0 and 7.5.
 
“Avotus is proud to have Avotus Professional version 3.19 verified as compliant with Avaya Communication Server 1000,” said Sumer Shankardass, CEO of Avotus. “This compliance helps our customers incorporate new technology and enhance the performance and management of their Avaya network through the deployment of Avaya compatible business applications. This compliance can add value to our customers by enabling them to make more effective use of their existing communication infrastructure while controlling costs.”
 
Avotus is a member of the Avaya DevConnect program—an initiative to develop, market and sell innovative third-party products that interoperate with Avaya technology and extend the value of a company’s investment in its network.   
 
As a Gold member of the program, Avotus is eligible to submit products for compatibility testing by the Avaya Solution Interoperability and Test Lab.  There, a team of Avaya engineers develops a comprehensive test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya compliant.  Doing so helps businesses confidently add best-in-class capabilities to their network without having to replace their existing infrastructure—which can speed deployment of new applications and reducing both network complexity and implementation costs.   
 
“Development partners like Avotus create solutions that are complementary to Avaya products for the marketplace,” said Eric Rossman, vice president, developer relations, Avaya. ”Avotus shares our objective to provide communication solutions that help our customers achieve their business goals, and this compliance demonstrates their commitment.”
