I just finished 2 days of meetings at the Avaya office in Denver. I sit on the Avaya IOC advisory council which is comprised of approx. 15 dealer principals that get together approx. every 6 months to review Avaya product, direction, thoughts, and general best practices. I left the meeting very encouraged and motivated.
Although I am sworn to secrecy and certainly can’t share product or company direction, what I can say is that Avaya is definitely headed down the right path. The Avaya folks were extremely passionate, knowledgeable, and had an excellent sense of the product, their position in the market, and the where they needed to go to keep both the company, and their products at the top. One of the other by-product benefits is that you get to share ideas with other like-minded dealer principals. Looking forward to the next meeting – it certainly helps that it will probably be in Florida in January.
I now get to relax for the next few days and take in some of the Colorado outdoors; horseback riding, white water rafting, and mountain climbing.
