HP (NYSE: HPQ (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=HPQ)) has agreed to extend its partnership with Avaya--selling the company's unified communications (UC) products to its enterprise customers.
The partnership has been extended for another three years with HP agreeing to sell Avaya UC solutions to its customers. HP has also noted its plans to provide consulting and integration services on network design and UC setup to customers in support of selling Avaya UC products. Finally, HP will provide customers with Avaya's Aura unified communications hardware, software and applications as well as contact center solutions client applications and endpoint hardware.
This extension is just the latest in HP's UC empire. The company also has sales deals to sell UC products from Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ALU)) and Microsoft (NasdaqGS: MSFT (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=MSFT)). Noticably absent from the deals is Cisco (NasdaqGS: CSCO (http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=CSCO)), a company that no longer has a deal with HP and has a rather heated competition with them from what we can tell.
