Performance Management Suite is certified for compatibility with key Avaya contact center solutions

Helps businesses easily communicate vital information throughout their call centers

Charlottesville, VA - September 19, 2006 — Inova Solutions, a leading global provider of real-time visual communication systems, today announced that Inova LightLink™ is compliant with key contact center solutions from Avaya (NYSE:AV), a leading global provider of business communications applications, systems and services.

Inova LightLink is a powerful real-time communication platform that serves as the core of the Inova Performance Optimization Suite, a family of products for increasing contact center productivity and enhancing customer service. The Inova suite leverages data from systems already in place, such as contact center solutions from Avaya, providing a real-time view of performance that cuts across systems and sites. This empowers the workforce to take immediate, informed actions based on changing contact center conditions. Inova LightLink version 5 is compliance-tested by Avaya for compatibility with Avaya Call Management System 12.0, an application that provides the information and management tools businesses need to monitor and analyze the performance of their contact center operations.

"Our commitment to certification and compatibility testing ensures the interoperability of Inova products with those of our technology partners," said Rao Kachibhotla, director of product management for Inova Solutions. "Inova customers get a proven solution that can be quickly deployed with confidence."

Inova Solutions is a member of the Avaya Developer Connection Program — an initiative to develop, market and sell innovative third-party products that interoperate with Avaya technology and extend the value of a company's investment in its network. As a member of the program, Inova Solutions is eligible to submit products for compatibility testing by the Avaya Solution Interoperability and Test Lab in Lincroft , N.J. There a team of Avaya engineers develops a comprehensive test plan for each application to verify whether it is Avaya compliant. Doing so ensures businesses can confidently add best-in-class capabilities to their network without having to replace their existing infrastructure — speeding deployment of new applications and reducing both network complexity and implementation costs.

"By offering compliance testing to the many innovative companies like Inova Solutions who are members of our Developer Connection program, Avaya promotes interoperable solutions that are easier and more cost-effective for companies to implement within their existing, multivendor networks," said Eric Rossman, vice president, developer relations and technical alliances, Avaya. "That means that together we're expanding the options businesses have for solving their most complex challenges and are helping them derive greater value from their communications infrastructure."
