Two Defined Sales Motions Fuel Growth Protect & Upgrade the Base New Customers Existing Avaya Footprint New Technologies to Existing Customers • Focus on: • Selling newer technologies to existing customers (e.g. Data, Video) • Hunting for new sites or competitive sites within existing customers (e.g. US Deal Reg) • Hunting for new customers (e.g. US New Customer Incentive) • Selling higher margin technologies to existing and new customers (e.g. US Grow Right) • Selling retail maintenance services in the US (e.g. US maintenance commissions)
A Territory Model for Teamwork Future State Current State Avaya Cam TAM Avaya Cam TAM Partner Sales IS / Mkt / Svcs Partner Sales IS / Mkt / Svcs Avaya Partner Customer Customer Partner Avaya Desired Objectives Current State • TAMs focused strongly on End Users • Partners used for pure fulfillment – not leverage • Avaya Channel CAM used for deal administration • Non-existent TAM-to-Partner alignment – other than deal processing. • TAMs NOT involved in Partner recruitment or enablement • TAMs are “quarterback” for territory • TAMs leverage CAMs and Partners for demand generation and customer coverage • TAM accountable for territory growth – with and through legacy and new partners

Total investment to keep the CM was $240,000 plus annual Support Advantage. • Proposal: • Partner positioned an IPO with all new endpoints. In addition, maintenance on the IPO was 40% less per year and OneX Mobile included presence making it more feature rich on IPO than CM. • Decision: • This was a finance driven decision • The IPO closed in two weeks. • New York Not-for-Profit • $97,000 deal @ 40% Margin • Opportunity: • Customer looking to replace their legacy Definitysystem. The CIO wanted to compare the 3 alternatives: Avaya, Cisco and Shoretel. They issued a Mini RFP asking all 3 companies for an overview and demonstration. • Customer Evaluation: • - Cisco was eliminated due to pricing (double) TCO • - Shoretelbrought in their demo kit & impressed the client • Avaya’s presentation was done at the EBC. client was very impressed with IPO Server Edition and how all of the client’s requirements were covered. • Avaya Differentiators: • Conferencing capability built in (big leg up over Shoretel) • Avaya’s Mobility and BYOD Solutions (One-X, Soft phone, Flare) • Pricing: Leveraging Avaya promotions (777), the Avaya proposal 20% less • Decision: • Feature functionality with conferencing and the price solidified the client’s decision to purchase Avaya.
Radvision Revenue: ~$218,000+ Install (AV Integration) & Services Competition: Cisco/TAA (Incumbent video) Channel : Avaya Connect Partner • Why We Won: • Understanding Business Drivers. Consulting to identify the key business processes coupled with solution selling, and a compelling TCO. Examples include: “Ask and Expert” virtual support, B2B simplicity, Board of Director and Leadership meeting support. • Vendor Agnostic Approach. Our ability to present an “end to end” solution with multi-vendor interoperability to leverage installed assets with goal to upgrade an additional 17 Branch locations in 2013. • Pricing/Solution Strategy. Bundled strategy with management (iView) solution to support mixed environment and be supported on VM WARE environment.

Our Dynamic (4:1 ) MCU port support for Scopia illustrated scale of offering as Bank grows while managing bandwidth assets where possible..
