While we strive to provide our members with the best support services for the development of innovative, interoperable collaboration and communication applications that leverage the unique capabilities offered by Avaya products, there are always times we can't provide advice and guidance. For those (hopefully rare) times, we suggest you leverage the larger Avaya community of customers, channel partners, technology partners and developers.

Here are some additional resources that you may find useful:

Avaya Client Services

Avaya's Support website should be your first stop, especially for assistance with operational and configuration issues. Not only does Avaya support have an extensive seachable knowledgebase for you to tap into, the Avaya Support Forums offer extensive access to the Avaya community for help and assistance.

International Avaya Users Group (IAUG)

The International Avaya Users Group (IAUG) is an independent organization composed of Avaya customers, channel partners, and technology companies that share knowledge and information regarding the deployment, operations and use of Avaya products. Local IAUG chapters and regional conferences, as well as IAUG's annual conference, offer a wealth of knowledge on operational and development-oriented topics, generally led by Avaya users themselves. DevConnect Technology Partners are encouraged to become IAUG Star Partners for increased visibility through the programs run directly by IAUG.

IAUG also offers the Avaya Users forum boards, an active community of Avaya customers sharing knowledge and information.
