Beyond enriching SYNNEX' industry-leading UC platform, the agreement rounds out its recently launched Hosted Avaya IP Office cloud solution, which gives resellers the option to move from a referral agent model to a recurring monthly service model, providing the opportunity for long-term, recurring revenue streams.
