MORRISTOWN, N.J. and NEW YORK, May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Avaya, a global leader in enterprise customer experience solutions, and LivePerson (Nasdaq: LPSN), the enterprise leader in digital customer conversations, today announced a new partnership designed to unify voice, digital, and AI capabilities into a single omnichannel solution that delivers connected, personalized customer experiences and accelerates enterprise digital transformation.
The Avaya and LivePerson partnership enables enterprises to augment their existing investments in Avaya cloud and premises-based solutions by deploying market-leading digital, automation, AI, and analytics capabilities in an integrated experience — no rip-and-replace or migration required — enabling transformative outcomes faster with lower cost and substantially less risk to operations.

"Today's enterprises want to use analytics, digital channels, automation, and AI to deliver better outcomes for customers, while attaining new levels of operational efficiency and minimizing disruption to existing core systems," said Josh Mueller, CMO and General Manager of Hardware, Avaya. "Partnering with LivePerson brings 'innovation without disruption' to our customers and partners by enabling them to bring market-leading digital and AI capabilities, along with world-class analytics, seamlessly into their existing operations."
"With Avaya, we're creating an entirely new path for enterprises to achieve the true ROI of digital transformation and AI right now — without locking that value behind a years-long CCaaS migration journey," said John Sabino, CEO of LivePerson. "Our strategic partnership not only provides a faster path to better outcomes, but will also power a best-of-breed omni-channel suite like nothing else in the market today."
Advanced Digital Capabilities and Unified Insight Capabilities will drive accelerated time-to-value — and reduce the risks of using AI for customer experience — by bringing together the capabilities, services and client success motions of both Avaya and LivePerson, including:
Additional details around the joint solution will be shared in a breakout session at Avaya ENGAGE on May 14th at 11:45 AM, at demo stations in both the LivePerson and Avaya booths during ENGAGE, and at LivePerson's Spark virtual product launch event on May 23, 2024.
