Avaya said that it has expanded global availability of its Device as a Service (DaaS) offering, allowing businesses to acquire the outfit’s latest smart devices with a monthly subscription rather than an upfront purchase.
The move follows the successful introduction in the United States in 2018 and is being rolled out in Europe.
The Avaya DaaS is now available for Avaya IX IP Phones, the Avaya Vantage portfolio, select Avaya IX Conference Phones – including the recently launched Avaya IX Conference Phone B199, and the award-winning Avaya IX Collaboration Unit. With the platform-agnostic capabilities of the Avaya IX Device portfolio, these devices can be deployed on both Avaya and Non-Avaya UC platforms.
Customers can contract for terms of one, three, or five years – longer terms provide lower monthly costs, it’s claimed.
During the term, customers can upgrade to higher-priced devices without any penalty and cancellation options are also available.
Avaya Senior Vice President of Strategy and Business Development Hardy Myers said: “This announcement, along with the recently announced Avaya IX Subscription offer and the Avaya’s OneCloud set of service offers, now enables customers to leverage an OpEx model for both their Avaya software and their Avaya devices.”
The Avaya Device as a Service website provides a drop-down listing of the countries in which Device as a Service is now available.
