Distribution Central’s unified comms and IP telephony unit, Unity Systems, has signed up AdvaTel’s InTouch solution for the Australian and New Zealand reseller channel.

"Unity Systems is an ideal choice to take our InTouch solution to market, as they are well established in distributing Avaya and have a strong foot hold in the Small to Medium Business (SMB) IP Office market” said Phillip Wong, Director of Business Development at AdvaTel.

The InTouch software is described as a unified communications solution that’s an integrated Outlook plug-in.

"It has been designed for SMBs to communicate with internal and external contacts easily across multiple platforms of communication via Avaya IP Office, Microsoft Outlook, Skype, MSN, Yahoo and Lync,” said AdvaTel.

Features include federated presence, click to dial, click to IM, click Email, click to SMS, Click to Pounce and view the users calendar status.

"InTouch is a complementary fit to our Unity Systems portfolio and will be easy to order alongside our other vendor products, through our custom-designed and built online configuration tool,” said Nick Verykios, Managing Director, Distribution Central.

"Our system automatically shows which add-on products are compatible and makes it simple and efficient for partners to order the right add-on software all on the same quote. We’re offering a complete solution of unified communications with the applications.”
