!NOTE: This will not diminish the channel role in large accounts
• Focus on:– Selling newer technologies to existing customers (e.g. Data, Video)– Hunting for new sites or competitive sites within existing customers (e.g. US Deal Reg)– Hunting for new customers (e.g. US New Customer Incentive)– Selling higher margin technologies to existing and new customers (e.g. US Grow Right)– Selling retail maintenance services in the US (e.g. US maintenance commissions)

IP Office Radvision Networking
IP OfficeNew York Not-for-Profit•$97,000 deal @ 40% Margin
Opportunity:Customer looking to replace their legacy Definity system. The CIO wanted to compare the 3 alternatives: Avaya, Cisco and Shoretel. They issued a Mini RFP asking all 3 companies for an overview and demonstration. Customer Evaluation:- Cisco was eliminated due to pricing (double) TCO- Shoretel brought in their demo kit & impressed the client-Avaya’s presentation was done at the EBC. client was very impressed with IPO Server Edition and how all of the client’s requirements were covered.
Avaya Differentiators:Conferencing capability built in (big leg up over Shoretel)Avaya’s Mobility and BYOD Solutions (One-X, Soft phone, Flare)Pricing: Leveraging Avaya promotions (777), the Avaya proposal 20% less
Decision:Feature functionality with conferencing and the price solidified
the client’s decision to purchase Avaya.
Publishing Company•$165,000 deal @ 50% Margin
Opportunity:Customer had a CM4 solution including Intuity that was end of lease on a 5 year FMV lease. Existing solution headquartered in NYC with an LSP in Los Angeles. Total station count is 350 stations and interested in OneX Mobile. Financials:End of lease buyout from AFS was approximately $120,000; Upgrade to CM6 and Aura Messaging was an additional $120,000. Total investment to keep the CM was $240,000 plus annual Support Advantage. Proposal:Partner positioned an IPO with all new endpoints. In addition, maintenance on the IPO was 40% less per year and OneX Mobile included presence making it more feature rich on IPO than CM.
Decision:This was a finance driven decision
The IPO closed in two weeks.
Revenue: ~$218,000+ Install (AV Integration) & ServicesCompetition: Cisco/TAA (Incumbent video)Channel : Avaya Connect Partner
Why We Won:
•Understanding Business Drivers. Consulting to identify the key business processes coupled with solution selling, and a compelling TCO. Examples include: “Ask and Expert” virtual support, B2B simplicity, Board of Director and Leadership meeting support.
•Vendor Agnostic Approach. Our ability to present an “end to end” solution with multi-vendor interoperability to leverage installed assets with goal to upgrade an additional 17 Branch locations in 2013.
•Pricing/Solution Strategy. Bundled strategy with management (iView) solution to support mixed environment and be supported on VM WARE environment. This coupled with Scopia Mobile and Net Sense forced competitors hand while exposing high cost of sale for similar offering . Our Dynamic (4:1 ) MCU port support for Scopia illustrated scale of offering as Bank grows while managing bandwidth assets where possible.. Achieved increased productivity , ease of business while increasing customer service.
