Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE: AVYA), a global leader in solutions to
enhance and simplify communications and collaboration, announced today
that the City
of Martinsville
has implemented the Avaya OneCloud platform to
create a unified cloud solution for the city’s business communications
to create better experiences for their customers and generate additional
revenue.

Best known for its NASCAR Speedway, the City of Martinsville is a
full-service government services organization with city-owned and
operated utilities including a high-speed, high-capacity fiber optic and
telecom system; accredited Police, Fire, and Sheriff’s Departments; and
a city government that is highly focused on anticipating and responding
to the needs of citizens.

Through implementing Avaya OneCloud solutions integrated with AWS and
Avaya’s strategic consulting partnership with Ronco Communications, the
city was able to provide enhanced communications and telephony with
security and redundancy capabilities providing superior service and
peace of mind to 2,000 users and businesses across the municipality.
Avaya’s easy to manage VoIP platform enabled the City of Martinsville to
quickly roll out communications services to create better experiences
for its citizens and businesses. The city phone and internet system has
generated an additional $1 million in revenue with the expectation to
increase to $2 million in revenue by 2020.

“We pride ourselves on the services we provide to our customers, and
without a high level of business communications, you can’t deliver
experiences that matter,” Jared Pruett, network engineer, City of
Martinsville. “Avaya has made everything easy and efficient. As a voice
and Internet provider, the city of Martinsville has more on its plate
than most. Avaya stepped in to ensure the city not just provided a
scalable solution, but the best possible service for the best possible
customer experience. I never have to worry about the level of service
they provide to us. We’re in constant communication and the city always
feels that our needs are met.”

“We have had a long-standing relationship with the City of Martinsville
– providing support services for their core infrastructure,” said Chris
Wasp Jr., CEO, Ronco Communications. “The City is incredibly innovative
and has created a world-class solution that provides seamless
communication tools to benefit their community.”

Avaya OneCloud unified communications and contact center solutions are
provided through a network of data centers in the United States, Germany
and Singapore for availability in 34 countries. The company will
continue to expand its network of global data centers to meet the
growing needs of customers worldwide.
