Interstar Technologies of Canada, a developer of fax capabilities for Internet protocol (IP) telephony networks, is the latest member of the Avaya DeveloperConnection program, the companies made the announcement on Wednesday.


 
Interstar will be joining the more than 1,000 members of the Avaya DeveloperConnection program. Some of Interstar's products include the LightningFAX enterprise fax server; and the XMediusFAX, a software-only, real-time T.38 fax system that operates without traditional fax boards on a voice over IP network.

 
"Interstar's pioneering XMediusFAX T.38 Fax Over IP products are all-in-one, software-only fax server solutions that leverage Avaya's media gateways and converged VoIP network solutions," said Martin Demers, president and CEO of Interstar Technologies Inc. "We are committed to collaborating closely with Avaya to deliver compliance-tested Fax Over IP solutions that will improve security and reliability for businesses, reduce their costs and deliver a true return on their investment."
 
Avaya created DeveloperConnection in 2001 in order to promote the development, compliance testing and co-marketing of Avaya-compatible third-party products by members with expertise in IP telephony, contact centers and mobility applications.
 
"Our Avaya developer community has become a catalyst for rapid innovation and the creation of new multivendor applications that help enterprises around the world embed secure, reliable communications capabilities into the fabric of their business--making their people more productive, processes more intelligent and customers more satisfied," said Eric Rossman, vice president, developer relations and technical alliances, Avaya.
 
Membership information and a listing of solutions developed and tested under the DeveloperConnection program are available online.
 
Avaya made news yesterday when it announced a partnership with SAP America Inc. in order to jointly market mySAP Customer Relationship Management (mySAP CRM) with Avaya's contact center capabilities. The companies expect to have the combined offering available in the North American market by the second quarter of 2006.
 
"As a result of this agreement with Avaya, our customers can realize the superior value of combining our CRM solution with Avaya's contact center capabilities," said Glenn Wada, senior vice president of business development, SAP America, Inc. "SAP looks forward to extending our lead in the CRM marketplace by working with Avaya to bring to market a successful set of solutions that will help increase customer service productivity and efficiency."
