"As a Gold-level member of the Avaya DevConnect program, Agito has been working closely with Avaya since before the company launched to deliver compliance-tested Unified Communications solutions to joint customers," said Mark Cashman, Agito Networks vice president of business development. "Similar to Agito's initial RoamAnywhere release, this compliance announced today enables joint customers to benefit from Avaya's market-leading mid-call control features delivered to users' handsets via RoamAnywhere v2.0, enabling users to be more accessible and productive, while reducing enterprise telecommunications costs."

Agito Networks is a member of the Avaya DevConnect program -- an initiative to develop, market and sell innovative third-party products that interoperate with Avaya technology and extend the value of a company's investment in its network.

As a Gold member of the program, Agito Networks is eligible to submit products for compatibility testing by the Avaya Solution Interoperability and Test Lab in Lincroft, N.J. There a team of Avaya engineers develops a comprehensive test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya compliant. Doing so ensures businesses can confidently add best-in-class capabilities to their network without having to replace their existing infrastructure -- speeding deployment of new applications and reducing both network complexity and implementation costs.

"By participating in Avaya's compliance testing program and committing to open standards, development partners like Agito Networks are helping businesses get more out of their network investment," said Eric Rossman, vice president, developer relations and technical alliances, Avaya. "Our customers are able to easily communications-enable critical business processes, change the way they work, and uncover new value that can help them build their bottom line."
