Avaya Customer Interaction Express Positioning Pricing and Configurations Competition Roadmap Calendar of Activities and Training Wrap Up Key: do not confuse it with MVE. It is a different product. Typical Avaya model: R&D in the US then deployed in EMEA. With this product R&D in Germany and therefore launch in EMEA first. Lots of benefit and resources locally. Not a US product. This is a first for Avaya We start with definition of Mid Market as everyone as a definition.

5 Focusing on Medium Sized Contact Centers
The Need: Complete software suite solution : simple to buy, simple to deploy, simple to use and simple to manage - delivering the competitive advantage previously reserved for the largest Contact Centers Customer Drivers: Profitability, low TCO, Quick ROI Meeting current and future business needs Minimal install/move disruption Leverages open standards The Path: Integrated and flexible solutions that allow to meet changing customer requirements and business needs at their own pace Mobile and Distributed agents Avaya has done lots of research on Mid market and the customer needs are different then large businesses.... Cost is a major contributor to the purchasing decision. Easy to price and to order! Simplified installation is key. Needs to be easily configurable and customizeable Demanding Customers Sales Channel Needs: Differentiated solutions Easy to sell & quick to design + deploy Delivering lower costs - higher margins Promoting long-term customer relationships The Result: Competitive advantage from more efficient, responsive and effective business operations

6 Mid Size And Enterprise Businesses Different Needs By Segment
Specialized applications tailored to single purpose Highly customizable deployment and implementation options Multiple Operating Systems In-house IT Expertise for Server and Application Management Dedicated Servers for each application Center Contact Reporting Self Service IVR / Proactive Contact Productivity Desktop CTI Enterprise Business ----- Top part of slide Avaya aquiered many different systems. Avaya comes from the large enterprise business with many of different solutions, driven by customer demands. Avaya adressing different markets with many requierements. Features gathered via forum and customer meetings and extensive research. Very mature applications. It resulted in a very powerful set of solutions. However integration requiered assistance. Scales over 100 agents. Many have different OS, databases, integration points and so. Avaya current strategy is to move each aplications to common items such as common OS (linux), strandardize GUI, look and feel. Common loggin, support and so on. Makes everyones life easier. Scaling down was not viewed as the right approch. Instead decided to continue investing on an exitisting and successfull application. Avaya is investing a lot in its current CC applications to continue to integration. - Bottom part of slide In the past Avaya had many attempts to the mid markets with CTI solutions, CCE and others. Today, Avaya is changing its current portfolio by standardising on the OS with Linux for example as well as adopting open standards and making integrations of systems easier. For the Enterprise market. We believe 20 1to 150 agents is different value proposition. Usually companies with small IT departments and skills are around Windows and standard solutions. In the Mid Maket space with the acquistion of Tenovis and the very poweful mid marke solution, avaya is now leveraging its investements to have a truely integrated solutions. It means single server solution, easy to install and so on. Enterprise side: Avaya is very strong. Enterprise solution does not scale down to mid market. It means we have a new strategy for mid market. The Mid Market solution CIE does not compete with IP office as channels in SMBS are different. Different market and the skills required than S8xxx servers. Overlap depends on channel markets and countries. There is an overlap and it has to be addressed. Avaya offering solution suite from 20 to 150. Product not capped but this is where we are positioning. Software Suite Shorter implementation cycles Easier to manage One solution to upgrade Reduce infrastructure cost Contact Center Outbound dialling Self-Service Desktop Productivity Mid Size Business Reporting CTI

7 Addressing Some Specific Needs of Medium-sized Businesses
The need for an all in one Contact Center Suite. Requires the suite to run on as few Microsoft OS based application servers of the same type as possible (low TCO). Requires the suite to be up and running with a relatively small implementation and system integration effort – compared to Enterprise Solutions. Limited internal IT capabilities. Uses Contact Center technology also to optimize overall communication processes. Still requires a high level of functionality Target market: approximately 100 to 1,000 employees with workers in the contact center. In talking with our customers in the midmarket we have discovered that they’re looking not for point solutions but for an all-in-one contact center solution/suite – easy to deploy, easy to use, easy to maintain They also appear to be most comfortable with the MS operating system They don’t have a lot of IT budget or a lot of time and resources to spend on implementing a new solution, but they also want to know that whatever solution they use can grow and evolve with them. We are focusing on agents but for those customers who are focused on growth, CIE has the capabilities and scalability to grow with them. Largest current BCC implementation is 3000 agents across 32 sites. 2200 customers CIE is the evolution of the Tenovis BCC product – with new features/functionality/scalability It scales up but we are focusing on solving the business needs of medium-sized businesses

It means the architecture cann support different PBXs. First release will support Avaya ACM, i55. On going cycle, 90 to 120 days, we will suport other vendors. This is being reviewed. Vendor independance (competitors PBXs). Coming during FY07. Mainly due to testing and bandwith Integration to other PBXs is either native or via CT-Connect. All on a CD. One suite, with one loggin, one reporting on so ... Windows OS: only OS! 150 agents but not really limited technically. It is a business decision. KEY: skills based routing soft ACD. The software is doing the routing. None will be done by the PBX. No vectoring for example. This is a big switch from Avaya. Does all call prompting that the PBX use to do. No 3rd party solution needed as all reporting done via the application. Positioning: stronger value as it is all in the software. You do not need any of the CCS, CC, SMS and so on. This is a first for avaya. No requierement to purchase any of the apps above.

In addition CCE delivers multi media capabilities which brings us more towards the Leading Edge of the market. Interaction Center can leverage Call Center Software but can also do the call routing off board. CIE is completely off board as mentioned on previous slides.
