Avaya Inventors Recognized for Innovations in
Computer and Telephony Integration
Avaya Holdings Corp. (NYSE:AVYA), a global leader in solutions
to enhance and simplify communications and collaboration, today
announced it has been honored as a 2019 Edison Patent Award Winner
in the category of Information Technology, recognizing key
inventors for the importance of their patented innovations.
The R&D Council of New Jersey selected its winners for the
prestigious award from nominations that were reviewed by a team of
R&D Council researchers who evaluated patents for significance
of the problem, utility/socio-economic value, novelty and
commercial impact. Avaya R&D team members Valentine Matula,
George Erhart, and former colleagues David Skiba, Venkatesh
Krishnaswamy and Ravi Sethi were recognized for their important
work at the annual Thomas Alva Edison Patent Awards Ceremony
recently held at the Liberty Science Center in New Jersey.
“This recognition is a tremendous honor for us and for our Avaya
colleagues, who each and every day are driving innovation that
enables our clients and partners to deliver superior customer
experiences,” said Valentine Matula, Avaya Vice President of
Emerging Products & Technology. “We look forward to delivering
further innovation that advances our industry and improves global
communication and collaboration capabilities.”
“Avaya’s focus on research and development and innovation is
well-known throughout the unified communications and contact center
solutions market,” said George Erhart, Avaya Consulting Research
Scientist. “To receive broader recognition for our work by a
prestigious organization like the R&D Council is, in my
opinion, indicative of the impact Avaya technologies are having
across the spectrum of the communications and IT ecosystem.”
“Every year, we watch the advances of the research coming from
this state and we are overwhelmed by the quality and broad spectrum
of work being done,” said Larry O’Connell, chairman of the board of
the R&D Council and IBM’s Vice President of Global Technical
Leadership. “Congratulations to Avaya and to its distinguished
inventors.”
“Avaya has a long and storied history of invention and
innovation, and we could not be prouder of this most recent
recognition for our distinguished scientists,” said Chris McGugan,
Avaya Senior Vice President, Solutions & Technology. “It is
indicative of our commitment to continue the breakthrough
advancements in digital communications software, services, and
devices that propel our industry forward.”
“For our customers and partners around the world, Avaya truly
equals innovation, and I am proud to work with these amazing
innovators and scientists who are delivering new customer-centric
technologies every day,” said Frank Ciccone, Avaya Senior Vice
President, North America Sales. “Their inventions are creating
experiences that matter for users of Avaya solutions
worldwide.”
