“IPI MOVES IN TO THE CLOUD AS AN EARLY ADOPTER PARTNER
IN NEW BT-AVAYA SOLUTION TRIALS”
READING, UNITED KINGDOM, FRIDAY 5th SEPTEMBER, 2014. Reading based contact centre IT specialist IP
Integration (IPI) has today revealed it will be one of the select early adopter partners for the new AVAYA
CLOUD SOLUTIONS service to be launched by BT Wholesale and Avaya later this year. The move will see IPI
work on trials starting in November 2014 before full commercial roll out next year.
The announcement follows months of work between IPI, BT Wholesale and Avaya as the new service is
readied. The development will now see IPI add cloud-based solutions to its existing suite of software, IT,
network, applications and consulting offers for 2015.

Media Release from IP Integration
Dave Glasgow, Director at IPI says; “Companies are increasingly looking at cloud-based
solutions as a means to simplify and control their costs - the opportunity to work with Avaya
and BT Wholesale on the new service made great commercial sense for us because it gives
us that total package for our clients”
The news about IPI’s involvement as an early adopter partner follows on closely from the announcement on
12th August, that Avaya and BT Wholesale were launching the new AVAYA CLOUD SOLUTIONS service, under
a new five year joint initiative, which will see BT Wholesale offer AVAYA’s Unified Communications and
Contact Centre Applications to mid-size contact businesses of 250+ employees.
James Hennah, Director, Fixed Telecoms, BT Wholesale BT Wholesale said earlier this
month; "Hosted Communications Services are at the heart of our plans to offer more to our
indirect channel business. By working with us, channel partners can offer their business
customers a complete and future-proofed communications service."
The new service, which will allow companies to ‘pay-as-you-grow’ as their needs change, will only be
available to accredited Avaya partners – such as IPI, through BT Wholesale. Already a leading partner of
Avaya and a specialist in the mid-size contact centre market, IPI was ideally placed to work with both
companies on developing the 2014 trials for new service. The 2014 trial activity reflects IPI’s own confidence
in using smart new technologies – as explained by Jamie Little, Director of Pre-Sales at IPI who has been codeveloping the project with colleagues from Avaya and BT Wholesale. He says;
“We have a real history at IPI of always being quick to move into and use the latest technologies to
provide new solutions for our customers - and the new AVAYA Cloud Solutions gives us the strengths
of both AVAYA Aura and the BT Wholesale network so that we can confidently provide our clients
with a really smart hosted solution. We’re delighted to be an early adopter partner and we are
looking forward to working on the project and seeing the results.” –Jamie Little, Director, Pre-Sales,
