Network of companies creates innovative, IP-enabled Intelligent Communications applications that extend the value of multivendor networks

GIPS Solutions products consist of the Remote Extension softphone, Click-to-Talk Web-based calling and Interoffice Voice Trunking server software.  Each is designed to work with Avaya Internet protocol (IP) telephony software, which provides advanced VoIP communications for enterprises and their contact centers.  As a result, mobile or remote workers, contact center personnel and other employees of organizations utilizing Avaya solutions can benefit from GIPS technology.   

GIPS products are specifically designed for use over unmanaged networks. By utilizing patented network address translation/firewall traversal technology in combination with cutting-edge media processing techniques, they are able to deliver high-quality, consistent connections in almost any environment.

The Avaya DeveloperConnection program promotes the development, compliance-testing and co-marketing of innovative third-party products that are compatible with standards-based Avaya solutions.  Member organizations have expertise in a broad range of technologies - including IP telephony, contact centers and mobility applications - helping companies extend the value of multivendor networks and transform voice into an intelligent business application that delivers true value to the bottom line. 

"Membership in Avaya's DeveloperConnection program is a crucial step toward delivering cutting-edge VoIP technology to enterprise users," said GIPS Chief Marketing Officer, Wendy Toth.  "By working with Avaya to deliver compliance-tested solutions, we can ensure that our customers will always have the highest quality products available and will be able to use enterprise communications to differentiate themselves in the fiercely competitive marketplace."

Through the DeveloperConnection program, Avaya provides a number of tools and capabilities to member companies.  One example is Application Enablement Services (AES)-a set of application programming interfaces, protocols and Web services that makes it easier for developers to create Avaya-compatible networks, devices and applications.
