(NYSE: AV), a leading global provider of business communications applications, systems and services, for membership in the Avaya DeveloperConnection program.

911 Enable is the developer of the award-winning Enterprise 911 Solution, which routes 911 calls from enterprise networks to Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs).

“Working with Avaya will help us refine our flexible solutions for both IP-based and legacy-based, multivendor networks,” said Lev Deich, Director of 911 Enable. “In addition, membership will help to facilitate interoperability testing and speed time to deployment for our customers.”

Members have created hundreds of innovative solutions tested for Avaya compliance, including natural language speech recognition applications, wireless services, specialized computer telephony integration and reporting capabilities, and applications tailored for specific vertical industries.

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. “With the involvement of companies like 911 Enable, our Avaya developer community has become a catalyst for rapid innovation — creating multivendor applications that help enterprises around the world unleash powerful new possibilities for operating more efficiently and effectively,” said Eric Rossman, vice president, developer relations and technical alliances, Avaya. “We help businesses embed secure, reliable Intelligent Communications into the very fabric of their organization so employees and customers have ready access to information regardless of where they are and how they prefer to communicate.”
