Additionally, the sessions will cover how IP Office allows businesses to connect home and remote workers and gain new features and capabilities such as mobility, video conferencing and a full-fledged sales/customer service center simply by adding software.

"We're looking forward to showing the attendees how Avaya IP Office can benefit them," said Steve Melchiorre, CEO of Converged Communication Systems. "We're very pleased to host the IP Office & Business Benefits Knowledge Transfer event with our valued partner Avaya."
