Avaya signs five-year deal to build call centers for Bharti
Airtel in Asia and Africa
Telecom equipment maker Avaya has also signed a five-year
deal with Bharti Airtel to build call centers for Bharti Airtel in Asia and
Africa.
The two companies have been working together on call
centers in India for a number of years, but with the new deal Avaya will also
implement its technology for Airtel in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and 18 African
countries.
Avaya’s technology will support over a billion calls a
year and include video and social media capabilities in the call centers.
A few months back, Bharti Airtel entered into a partnership with IT major
IBM to utilize its new identity intelligence software to strengthen information
management.
IBM’s analytics software called Security Role and Policy
Modeler analyzes employee data and recommends a finite set of roles to better
secure an organization and manage compliance. The analytics can flag abnormal
behavior, inconsistencies in role access and expired user access.
