Modern Cloud-Native vs. Legacy Infrastructure
Avaya has been a telecommunications giant for decades, but their legacy architecture and complex enterprise focus make them a poor fit for modern, growing businesses. While they're transitioning to cloud solutions, their pricing remains enterprise-focused with complex licensing and professional services requirements. Seasalt.ai is built cloud-native from day one for the modern business.
