Under the deal, the companies will co-develop converged voice, video and data IP-based enterprise products, with an emphasis on mobile.

Initially, Samsung will market and resell Avaya’s contact center and IP telephony products in Korea. The deal will also mean co-development of technologies for Avaya’s IP-based mobility and convergence devices, which may or may not be co-branded.

This agreement enables us to increase our global competitive advantage in IP communications and further strengthen our position in the Asia Pacific region, said Avaya chief executive Donald Peterson, in a statement.

Terms of the deal between Basking Ridge, New Jersey-based Avaya and Korea-based Samsung were not disclosed.
