Messaging On Demand is a messaging solution that is housed and managed in a secure data center, providing fully scalable functionality to businesses as a subscription. Like all on demand solutions, Messaging On Demand is a low-risk and flexible option for businesses. The solution is delivered on a per-seat, per-month basis with no upfront capital investment—businesses pay only for the number of mailboxes they use on a monthly basis and can easily scale up or down to meet changing needs of businesses. Because of its flexibility and ease of implementation, it can be an ideal replacement for end-of-life messaging systems. The solution is managed by certified Avaya technicians, so businesses can allocate IT staff resources to other business-critical projects. Messaging On Demand removes the financial, technical and management burden from the customer, providing a low risk entry to a feature-rich solution.

What's New With This Release
