FatPipe Networks and ACS Technologies are the two latest clients for Avaya. Both FatPipe Networks and ACS Technologies have implemented Avaya IX Mobility, previously called Avaya Mobile Experience.

The two enterprise clients aim to speed up the digital transformation of their contact centers, enhance smartphone interactions, cut costs, and deliver better customer experiences by the deployment of Avaya IX Mobility.

The Avaya IX Mobility solution assists FatPipe Networks and ACS Technologies to identify when an incoming call originates from a mobile device, transport contextual information on the caller to the contact center and enable selected calls to be deflected to the mobile web.

Laurent Philonenko, Avaya Senior Vice President, Innovation, said: “Contact center can be key drivers of an organization’s digital transformation strategy, while helping to improve the efficiency, quality and cost-effectiveness of the enterprise.”

FatPipe Networks, an Avaya partner and Avaya IX Mobility end user, chose to implement Avaya IX Mobility in combination with their secure SD-WAN for Customer Support 800 service, offering self-service choices for smartphone users.

“Avaya IX Mobility has been a great investment for FatPipe to help improve experiences with our customers as we grow and expand,” said Sanchaita Datta, chief technical officer of FatPipe Networks.

ACS Technologies serves 50,000 clients with technology solutions developed specifically for faith-based organizations. It migrated all 800 numbers in two months with a savings of 35 percent from their previous carrier.

Dustin Fails, Network Telecommunications Administrator, ACS Technologies, said: “In the future, we are looking to add new services such as call deflection to enhance our customers’ experiences even further.”
