Quote
"It is exciting to continue to enhance our Virtual Partner Forum, which is the premier vehicle used to ensure our Avaya Connect channel partners are well-informed, especially those who are unable to attend an annual conference in person. They can readily access a wide range of channel-specific information on their own schedule -- including proven strategies for delivering greater value to their customers and achieving a competitive advantage in the marketplace."
Patti Moran, senior director, Global Partner Marketing, Avaya
