ORLANDO, FL — (Marketwired) — 03/07/16 — – Today at , (AVST) has answered the call for its popular enterprise class Unified Communications (UC) solution to be delivered from the cloud. This offering changes the game for businesses looking for best-of-breed, cloud-based UC applications. The subscription-based cloud model brings all of the features, resiliency and interoperability that have defined the CX-E premise-based offering for more than 30 years. This flexible new licensing and delivery option enables customers to deploy CX-E their way — premise, hybrid or cloud.
The enhanced deployment flexibility of CX-E comes at a critical time in the evolution of cloud technologies and growth predictions for UC cloud services. According to Gartner, cloud UC end-user spending is expected to accelerate from 28 percent of spend in 2015 to 41 percent of UC spend in 2020. This trend is driven by increased end-user acceptance of cloud-based acquisition approaches and is supported by providers who are placing a greater proportion of their sales, marketing and product development efforts into their cloud service offerings and delivery capabilities.
“We–re bringing the freedom of choice to our customers to consume and deploy AVST–s world-class UC technology in the form factor of their choice including premise, hybrid or cloud — and have the flexibility to change their mind in the future,” said AVST President & CEO Hardy Myers. “We have set the bar for UC interoperability in the enterprise, and now we are raising it by making all of the features of our premise-based solution accessible from the cloud. This new cloud delivery model for CX-E meets the needs of enterprises seeking to achieve greater elasticity in their UC solution deployment model and shifts the consumption model from a CAPEX to an OPEX paradigm.”
