Akavit

Dear Avaya,

First of all, I’m a proud alumni of the Avaya/Lucent companies. My tenure spent with your company was a great time in my life. You’ve always treated your employees and customers with lots of respect but I’m afraid, your product offering has been boring. But, last week I watched your guided tour of the Avaya Flare product and I must say, Well Done! Your Avaya Flare product is one of the most innovative approaches to modern communication in a relevant, sexy, easy to use package.

The Avaya Flare, nice work Avaya!

Trying to aggregate the complex threads of modern communication is a formidable challenge. We’ve seen mobile and web companies trying it for a few years without much sustained success. The Avaya Flare seems to have succeeded by bringing all aspects of modern communication into a seamless, abstract presentation. Thus allowing all current and future communication sources to be consumed and produced using a very simple touch interface. This product is the business smart phone of the future (or next 2 years). Speaking of which, I love how you’ve wrapped your core business with the Android platform to produce the Flare. We here at Akavit love doing Android development and you have provided a new target for our customers.

Needless to say, I want a few for the Akavit office. I’ll post again if we manage to get a few Flares and I’ll post about the actual experience. Here is a link to the Avaya Flare Experience Guided Tour

Best Regards,
Gary
