DoubleHorn Communications Selected for Membership in Avaya DevConnect Program

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DoubleHorn Communications, a managed communications and hosted IT and cloud services company, today announced it has been selected by Avaya, a global provider of business collaboration systems, software and services, for membership as a Technology Partner in the Avaya DevConnect program.

“We stand behind DoubleHorn's goal to deliver unified communications solutions that are faster, better and smarter, simplifying business communications for the enterprise.”

DoubleHorn is the developer of SIPedge™, a hosted SIP trunk solution that can be automatically provisioned via the company's MyDoubleHorn.com customer portal. Via the portal, SIPedge includes powerful reporting tools for quality monitoring, usage tracking and capacity planning, enabling smarter, more insightful management of the SIP trunk deployment to better manage costs and capacity. As a DevConnect Technology Partner, DoubleHorn expects to deliver proven interoperability of their solutions with Avaya’s IP Office and Avaya Aura® , so that small and medium sized companies can transform their unified communications infrastructure for greater collaboration across voice, video, email and instant messaging.

The Avaya DevConnect program promotes the development, compliance-testing and co-marketing of innovative third-party solutions that are compatible with standards-based Avaya solutions. Member organizations have expertise in a broad range of capabilities – spanning collaboration, management, analytics, reporting and communications-enabled business process applications – helping joint customers extend the value of their collaboration and contact center investments and accelerate the speed at which their organization delivers true value to the bottom line.

“Membership in Avaya’s developer community will help us build our business by serving customers more efficiently and effectively,” said Tab Schadt, CEO of DoubleHorn Communications. “Building on Avaya resources and working more closely with the company to deliver compliance-tested solutions to the market, we are able to reduce network complexity, improve security and reliability, and speed time to deployment so businesses can quickly realize a benefit to their bottom line.”

The Avaya DevConnect program currently includes thousands of software and hardware developer companies, integrators, service providers and customers. Members have created a broad array of innovative solutions tested for Avaya compliance, including natural language speech recognition applications, mobile and emergency notification services, specialized computer telephony integration and reporting capabilities, and applications tailored for specific vertical industries.

Through the DevConnect program, Avaya provides companies with a wide range of technical education, access and support for many Avaya platforms and interfaces, often at no cost to Registered members. Technology Partners receive additional benefits in terms of in-depth, joint compliance testing activities and co-marketing support, based on their alignment with Avaya’s strategy and value offered to Avaya customers. DevConnect Technology Partners like DoubleHorn must meet rigorous criteria for customer satisfaction, product support, business operations, marketing and sales.

“Technology partners like DoubleHorn are helping Avaya transform business communications and deliver true multimedia collaboration solutions,” said Eric Rossman, vice president, developer relations, Avaya. “We stand behind DoubleHorn's goal to deliver unified communications solutions that are faster, better and smarter, simplifying business communications for the enterprise.”
